Thanks.  I wish there would also be `shortcut names', any other system
i've been working with for example provides a locale named `de_DE' so
you don't have to type `de_DE.ISO8859-1' all day.  FreeBSD is the only
(known to me) exception.  (Before anybody's arguing, i don't care
whether it defaults to 8859-1 or 8859-15, both are basically the same,
and the EUR symbol is IMHO nonsense anyway.)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
