Hi,
You need to do something like this using your locale name, LOCALEDIR is /usr/share/locale:
install -d ${LOCALEDIR}/lt_LT.UTF-8/
ln -fs ../la_LN.ASCII/LC_COLLATE ${LOCALEDIR}/lt_LT.UTF-8/LC_COLLATE
mklocale -o ${LOCALEDIR}/lt_LT.UTF-8/LC_CTYPE attached_file/lt_LT.UTF-8.src
grep -v '^#' <your_date_definition_file_converted_with_iconv_to_utf-8_lt_LT.UTF-8.src.new >${LOCALEDIR}/lt_LT.UTF-8/LC_TIME
Making 0x80 - 0x9F characters printable probably is not needed, but I'm not sure.
This doesn't add complete wchar functions set, but most programs do not require this. It works with xterm, KDE (after editing ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals & ~/.kde/share/config/kxkbrc), vim 6, gimp, mozilla (after editing /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/res/unixcharset.properties).
It's a pity most unices have utf-8 locales out of the box but not *BSD.
