Hmm.  Better ask the glibc people then ... when I have the time.

Well basically it only needs to copy from other locales. :p

In fact, something like this:

LC_CTYPE
copy "zh_CN"
END LC_CTYPE

LC_COLLATE
copy "iso14651_t1"
END LC_COLLATE

LC_MONETARY
copy "zh_HK"
END LC_MONETARY

LC_NUMERIC
copy "zh_HK"
END LC_NUMERIC

LC_TIME
copy "en_GB"
END LC_TIME

LC_MESSAGES
copy "en_GB"
END LC_MESSAGES

LC_PAPER
copy "zh_HK"
END LC_PAPER

LC_NAME
copy "en_GB"
END LC_NAME

LC_ADDRESS
% hmm... probably need to make a new one
copy "en_GB"
END LC_ADDRESS

LC_TELEPHONE
copy "zh_HK"
END LC_TELEPHONE

LC_MEASUREMENT
copy "zh_HK"
END LC_MEASUREMENT


Hehehe :)
