Bug#253211: Problems with the screen display in second stage

The "C" entry does not exist in languagechooser 1.23. The entry is
currently commented in languagelist. This thing did not work and I
didn't want to introduce confusion.
The new languagechooser was uploaded yesterday and, so, the first
daily build having it should be 20040607.
This is the first one including the APP_CHARSET_MAP fix from Recai
which is supposed to fix some display problems in 2nd-stage (it
applies to prebaseconfig and, I don't remember precisely why, this has
to do with the 2nd stage....).

Hmm, I don't really understand why you're talking about this "C" entry
here. It shouldn't be in current languagechooser, but I may have
messed up at some palce (I had two branches on my computer and worked
a lot on the new languagechooser before commiting it.....and I may
have forgotten something while commiting.
