Ok, I have returned now, let's roll on ;-)
Well, it is old and new at the same time.
It was used since 1991 or so but the Euro and Numero sign were missing untill
now. So generally speaking we are trying to make a longstanding implementation
`legal'. This is a requirement since the new OS we are developing now is charset
aware and all files related to locale are tagged by official charset numbers.
