It's worth someone from RT taking a look at how MySQL handles adding new character sets and collating sequences -- it's pretty complete. Although it's worth pointing out that they don't handle all the subtleties needed across Europe. One tiny example. German names in phone books may have a different collating sequence to words in a dictionary, and Austrian phone books use a different ordering to German ones.
