As you have probably seen since, this mail from me was completely
stupid..:-)

I interpreted your request badly, essentially because I personnally
think that a few build-time things could be moved to run-time in
language/country choosers (let's say localechooser now).

For instance, idealistically, the list of countries for a given
language should be built at run time, not build time. This would save
us the rebuild of localechooser when a new locale is added.

However, the new (and good) scheme for handling the shortlist does not
allow this anymore.

This is not really a must-have, though....
