Err, this statement is obviously wrong. I hacked my own localedef to not require recompiling locales when changing iso-*.def files, which is why I misread the statement above and had only in mind changes in data format. Anyway this dependency does indeed exist for now but can be relaxed quite easily. Denis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
