XLC_LOCALE for Big5HKSCS

[Roger So <rogerso@sis.dhs.org>]

Hello,

Although I have an XLC_LOCALE for Big5HKSCS that works for me at the
moment, it requires users to have a single font that includes both
standard Big5 and HKSCS extension characters.  I have been lucky to
have such a "unified" font; however I don't think it would be useful
for other people since generally HKSCS fonts are distributed 
separately from standard Big5 fonts.

I'm now working on an XLC_LOCALE that lets X use standard Big5 fonts
for "standard" characters (0xA1xx-0xF9xx), and extended fonts for
other characters.  However I don't know how to get X to distinguish
between these two character ranges.

I have attached what I have done so far; however I don't have access
to X at the moment so I can't test it.  Have a look and try it and
see if it works. :)
