KLocale and kcmlocale has been changed to depend on both languages and
countries. In the previous versions you only defined the language. This
changes allows us to:
* define how to format a number
* define how to format a number with currency symboles etc
* define how to format dates and time.

Such functions are now implemented in KLocale. They all depend on the
_country_ you select, not the language.

To make this work, we need a entry for each supported country in
kdebase/l10n. 

How to add information:
* create a directory in kdebase/l10n. The name of the directory is the ISO
  3166 alpha-2 country code
  (http://www.tu-berlin.de/zrz/dienste/netz/mail/iso-3166.html) in _lower_
  case.
* create a file called entry.desktop. See
  kdebase/l10n/README for information on entry.desktop.
* create a flag.png image for the country.
* create a .cvsignore file that ignores Makefile and Makefile.in
* create a Makefile.am that looks like this:
  TOPLEVEL_LANG = l10n/countrycode
  SUBDIRS = $(AUTODIRS)
  replace countrycode with your country code.
* add the country code to kdebase/l10n/Makefile.am

Then add and commit all the files you changed.

~BTW: Feel free comment the changes made to kcmlocale.
