Please post it to the list. I don't think I have time to look at it at
the moment. But then it is at least archived and it might trigger people
to give it a look.

These are files that can only be regenerated by a hacked localedef? What
are we going to do when you are hit by a bus? (Happy New Year!)

Can we import the complete hacked localedef source into our tree or is
it to big for that? Then we could even make it a configure option which
locales should be compiled in.
