I'm a bit worried that this is being done in gnome actually.
I can see why, but I would love to see exactly this incorporated
into glibc, or the existing stuff extracted from glibc and
merged with the CLDR data into a seperate package
without gnome dependencies.

I just hate seeing duplication of code/effort
and also a lot of data in this case.

Note to see the fields in the glibc locale
database, one can do:

locale | cut -d= -f1 | xargs locale -kc | less
