I'm talking about the set-language-info-alist calls in
lisp/language/european.el.  See, for example, the setup for the
Latin-1 environment and for Dutch, German, Spanish, and French
language environments.  They set up identical data structures, except
for the default input method, the Hello text, and the tutorial file
name.
