--- Comment #1 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> ---
Ive been reading up on the collation stuff (specifically uts#10 and uts#35). It
seems like the best course of action is instead of generating huge first letter
files for every locale (probably would need about 200 such files with that
approach), use the root first letters as a base. Then for a specific locale
take the index examplar characters for that locale (from cldr). If the thing we
are sorting falls between the first and last index letter we use the index
letter as the first letter header otherwise use the info from
first-letter-root.ser.

This would probably be best accomplished by merging the index letters with root
first letters during the sorting step in icucollation that happens just before
things get cached.
