In my local source tree I changed the hardcoded translations in ntoskrnl.exe
(rtl/nls.c) to a table driven concept. As soon as the memory pools are
available the default translation tables are allocated and initialized.
Although this doesn't change much, we can load the .nls files later, update
the table pointers and free the old buffers. Of course this must happen
before smss is started.

Btw, the german win2k loads:
    c_1252.nls (ansi codepage)
    c_850.nls (oem codepage)
    l_intl.nls (???)
