This support is now in MW with the category collation code Aryeh
wrote, and developers can now proceed to write language-specific
collations if they want to. Currently we only support the 'uppercase
and 'uca-default' collations. 'uppercase' just runs everything through
$wgLang->uc() , 'uca-default' uses UCA (Unicode-based algorithm). I
think we want to be using UCA on Wikimedia, but we currently use
uppercase because UCA requires packages that aren't currently
installed on the Apaches. I hear ops is working on upgrading all
Apaches to lucid, though, which will make installing those packages
much much easier.
