Excerpts from Philip Brown's message of Tue Jul 13 16:02:21 -0400 2010:

If that were true then wouldn't setting LC_TIME to a locale that isn't
currently installed also "break" things?

> This can only happen, if you actually HAVE "LC_TIME" directories, I

I don't think that's true.

You're still overlooking the fact that symlinking the directories is
removing the ability of a program to deliver separate .mo files for
the various categories (_CTYPE, _MONETARY and _NUMERIC are also
options a program might use).
