Well, this has the strange consequence of having a fr_FR locale using
the Euro sign....but a charset which does not include it..:-)

About the problem of en_IE....we could indeed *always* force adding
@euro for all English locales.

As countrychooser includes a mechanism for checking that a given
locale indeed exists before using it with a fallback to the same
locale without modifier, we could have "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as default locale
for English...:-)

The check mechanism will correct this to en_US, en_AU, en_IN...for
all locales which do not have any @euro variant....and will leave
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for Ireland....as well as [EMAIL PROTECTED] when the Brits will
have dropped their Holy Pound.

The only argument I see against this is putting a strange "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
in languagechooser's languagelist....
