It's possible this option name may be confusing.  Cf. bug 14259 discussing 
the meaning of the configure --localedir option.  (I think that bug is 
only a documentation issue - install.texi needs to document exactly what 
the configure option means, without any change to what that option does.)  
Do we want the localedef option to have a meaning completely different 
from that configure option, and so possibly add to that confusion?

Also, a new feature like this should have its own NEWS entry, not just a 
number in the list of fixed bugs (even if by the time of the next release 
we have a system to generate a list with bug descriptions included).
