So we need new aliases and/or mappings for them to construct those
locales.

I'll take care of it.

Windows has only 0x0479 we use as LANGUAGE_PAPIAMENTU mapping to pap-AN,
and additionally we came up with LANGUAGE_USER_PAPIAMENTU_ARUBA 0x8079
mapping to pap-AW.

Any preference if pap-AN should map to the new pap-CW or pap-BQ and
which? Or should we better come up with completely new locales?

Locales and default document language lists show only locales for which
locale data exists, so far no pap-* locale has any. For how to
contribute please see
