This change is to keep /usr/share machine-independent.

1. Naming convention
  Just FYI, NetBSD locale names is bacically following to
  the primary name of X Window System locale,
  e.g. en_US.ISO8859-1, ja_JP.eucJP, ko_KR.eucKR...
  But, I think we need not to change the names already existing in FreeBSD.

2. mkdirs in Makefiles
  Just ad-hoc.  I guess NetBSD people should remove them.

3. remaining DIS_8859-15.src
  Just historical reason.  The code base of XPG4DL is FreeBSD-3.[234].
  I guess NetBSD people should change the name.

4. IANA charset names vs. locale charset names
  I think locale charset names should be used for locale name only,
  except iconv_open(3) should accept both namespaces.

5. don't touch existen tables when not needed
  I'll do passably.
