Thanks for your indication.  But I could not find where the original
file and copyright were existed in translate.org.za.  Dwayne, do you
usually use these locales in your desktop?  If so I would like to know
what the status of these files are.  It seems there're a lot of TODOs.
I would help you to put these files into the official upstream glibc.
So I think it's good idea to check these locales before submitting to
upstream, and including debian glibc.

In addition, Dwayne, I guess these locales can be used as **_**.UTF-8
and **_**.ISO-8859-1.  Is this correct?
