RFE: Port the XLC_LOCALE locales from Solaris to Xorg. It seems that Solaris has
much more fontset/encoding mappings (just compare
/usr/openwin/lib/locale/en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE vs. xc/nls/XLC_LOCALE/en_US.UTF-8
) in XLC_LOCALE than the current Xorg versions of those files.
It would be nice if this could be ported to Xorg 

Notes:
1. I added support for Sun-specific font encodings like suneu-greek or
sun.unicode.india-0 so they can be included in the mappings, too

2. I added an "ascii-0" font encoding with bug 1703 (`Lots of "FreeType:
couldn't find encoding 'ascii-0'" warnings`) - it may be nice to put that in
front of the 16bit font encodings which have ASCII as their base (=positions
0-127) - this may save some time when only ASCII glyphs are needed as only the
ASCII parts need to be loaded as 8bit font (instead of loading a fully-qualified
16bit font).

3. xc/nls/XLC_LOCALE/zh_CN.gb18030 misses the GBK1988.1989-0 entry present in
the Solaris version (/usr/openwin/lib/locale/zh_CN.GB18030/XLC_LOCALE)

4. Solaris has a special tag called "load_option delay_nocheck" - what exactly
is that ? Is this worth being ported to Xorg ?
