little self-contained job

[Ulrich Drepper]

One of the things I would ideally liked to see implemented for 2.2 is
a way to speed up the handling of gconv-modules.  What I could imagine
is to have a problem which generates gconv-modules.db (in a system
dependent way).  This file should contain data structures which the
functions in gconv_db.c could directly use (after the file got
mapped).

Additionally a simple test could be added to check whether the
directory inode of for the directory containing the modules and the
gconv-modules file has a more recent modification date and in this
case the pregenerated data should be ignored.

Any volunteers?
