That requires a bit of re-architecting on how the langpacks thing
works, but nothing I can't cope with. I guess some design input on how
the user says "I can speak in Polish now" (region/language panels?) is
needed here so g-s has some data.

Four questions:

* Is the update/remove case handled automatically when there are
locales installed or do I have to handle that explicitly?
* How are the Locale sub-interface names created? Using the ISO
language code? Using the Locale string?
* When Installing $foo.Locale is this just handled like installing
another app or does g-s have to do something different here.
* Is it safe to install app locales when the app is already running?
If yes, I guess a restart of that app is required?

Thanks,
