Reading http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/locale/, my
understanding is that "Universal Locales for Linux" added a lot of utf-8
based Locales to the standard set of Linux Locales. Theses Locales also
extend the POSIX Locale model by adding LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS, LC_PAPER,
LC_MEASUREMENT and LC_TELEPHONE.
Is this package standard on Linux distributions (like redhat)? How do I know
if it has been installed on a Linux machine? Is this synchronization between
Locale models (Linux and ICU) well accepted and used? What are its
advantages since if I am relying on ICU, I do not use Linux Locales (no
SetLocale() in my programs), but the ones provided by ICU?
Also, from looking at the schedule of the "Universal Locales for Linux"
group, it does not seem to be very active...
