Updated/new locales for sr_CS (Serbia and Montenegro)

[Danilo Segan]

Regards everyone,

I have made updated locale definitions for the Serbian language, as 
used in Serbia and Montenegro, following the country name change (in 
February 2003), and ISO 3166 country code assignment (July 24, 2003).

The new country code is "CS", but I updated much more content than just 
the country code, fixed a couple of bugs in the previous (sr_YU) 
locales and improved it a bit.

Because official script of Serbian language, as used in Serbia and 
Montenegro, is cyrillic, I decided to use cyrillic script in "sr_CS" 
locale, and latin script in "sr_CS@Latn". This is different from sr_YU 
which was latin, and sr_YU@cyrillic which was cyrillic in previous GNU 
libc releases.

Because there was country code change, I don't believe this will cause 
any compatibility problems.

The LC_COLLATE category in sr_YU was incorrect (used both "copy" 
keyword and other keywords besides "reorder*" stuff, which is not 
according to ISO 14652), so I'll delay that a bit (I'm just updating 
it, but I need to gather some official informations prior to this).

The reasoning behind "Latn", instead of the "latin" or something 
similar, is that there exists a standard (ISO 15924[1]) which can help 
in deciding on the code for any script in use.

There was some discussion on relevant mailing lists (concerning l10n 
and i18n), and it was agreed that this is the best way to go.


The locale definitions are available at
   http://www.srpski.org/locale/
in files sr_CS and sr_CS@Latn.


Concerning collation, it's now using ISO 14651 rules, which is basicaly 
equivalent to what sr_YU did (because it was broken). 
Of course, a "localedef" program would need to be updated too, because 
the country_num is the same as for the "YU", while the other codes have 
changed (two letter code is "CS" and three letter code is "SCG") -- 
currently, it reports errors so I must use "-c" (force) option to build 
a locale.

I'm hoping this can get integrated before the next GNU libc release.


Cheers,
Danilo
