Some of the language definition files (e.g. german, which I guess Eduard
was using) just set ->locale to the language code. It does seem like
these are in error. Also, if we can make LANG come out right, I don't
think there is any need to set LANGUAGE at all. So, to summarise, I
think we should:
- revert Eduard's patch to util.c and go back to setting LANG from
lang->locale
- inspect, and fix if necessary, the locale values in all the
.src files so that they include country codes
- turn on the code protected by USE_LANGUAGE_VARIANTS in boxes.c, but
not the bit in main_menu.c
Anybody disagree with that?
