>Description:
No one of FreeBSD version i'm working with has "out of the box" support for Windows Cyrillic charset (codepage 1251). I believe, CP1251 charset is now most widely used in the exUSSR region.

I'm sending you all files, needed to build CP1251 locale (i think the best name for it is ru_RU.CP1251). There may be some inconsistencies with these files - i'm not guru :) At least, uppercase/lowercase conversion works, as well as sorting.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I have placed all (i hope) files, you need to add to the FreeBSD distribution in order to get CP1251. 

http://hydra.marketsite.ru/dimas/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-CP1251-locale.tgz

Content of the archive:

1. mklocale/ru_RU.CP1251.src
source file for the mklocale (to get LC_CTYPE).

2. colldef/map.CP1251, colldef/ru_RU.CP1251.src
source files for the colldef (to get LC_COLLATE).

3. LC_TIME
LC_TIME itself

I have no Makefiles, sorry. Actually, i think you will spend ten times less time then me trying to place files to the proper places and fixing Makefiles.
