Sorry, I must have been looking at the wrong thing.  A while ago I
talked with someone who I thought was organizing work on the other
Indian scripts.  It's a pity if that didn't happen.

By the way, even when there isn't an appropriate language environment,
I think the locales should be filled in to follow what glibc does,
e.g. use utf-8 for those Indian cases.  That's more likely to DTRT
with coding conversion for sub-processes, for instance, for people in
such locales.  Obviously fixing that would be a todo item.
