Hopefuly you should not have to set these symlinks anymore : we've 
extended the Language::SetLang() subroutine to try different algorythms 
(ll_CC.charset-x, ll_CC.CHARSET-x, ll_CC.charsetx, ll_CC,ll). It should 
work fine on most system. The only requirement remains that you need to 
install the corresponding locales on some system (using dpkg-reconfigure 
on Debian for instance).
