>Description:

	I'm sending this as a PR to make sure it does not get lost.

	This is all the data needed for slovene localization of
	FreeBSD. The needed files are:

		- si.iso.kbd (syscons slovene keymap)
		  to be put in /usr/src/share/syscons/keymaps
		- iso-8859-2-8x8.fnt, iso-8859-2-8x14.fnt and
		  iso-8859-2-8x16.fnt fonts for syscons,
		  to be put in /usr/src/share/syscons/fonts
		- si_SI.ISO_8859-2.src localized time strings
		  to be put in /usr/src/share/timedef/data

	The si.iso.kbd keymap can also be installed as hr.iso.kbd
	because the croatian and slovene keymaps are exactly the
	same (as far as I know).

	Note that there is already an iso-8859-2-8x16.fnt in
	FreeBSD, but IMHO it is ugly. The one here looks the same
	as the usual BIOS font on most PC's and is available in all
	three standard sizes. The si.iso.kbd keymap was created by me,
	the font files were copied from the Linux kbd package. They
	were originally created by Kosta Kostis. I tried contacting the
	author but mail to kosta@blues.sub.de bounces. As the kbd archive
	has been widely distributed I guess those font files
	are in the public domain (the original archive contained
	no copyright statement). The original archive can be found
	at ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/doc/ISO/charsets/isofont101.tar.gz

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install FreeBSD and notice that there is close to no
	support for iso-8859-2 languages and no support for slovene.

>Fix:

	Download si-locale.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.amis.net/pub/FreeBSD/
	and add the files to the system. After adding the files to
	the appropriate directories and changing the appropriate makefiles
	apply the following simple patch
	to /usr/src/usr.bin/mklocale/data/Makefile:
