#3013 locale gbk

[Anonymous]

Gentoo Linux, gcc3.3.4, Kernel 2.6.9

When I set LANG=zh_CN.GBK, tcl recognized this locale,
but fconfigure $xxx -encoding still returned iso8859-1

After a symbolic link from
/usr/lib/tcl8.4/encoding/euc-cn.enc to gbk.enc was
made, the problem became solved.

2004-06-18, dkf added several
Chinese locales to the
localeTable recognized during
startup. ChangeLog says they
came from Jim Huang <jserv@kaffe.org>

Don't know whether there's a
corresponding item in the tracker.

Anyhow, those locales
are recognized by Tcl 8.5a2, but
it appears they were never backported
to any 8.4 patch release.

Backported the custom mapping fix. (IMO langinfo ought to
handle this, but that's outside our control.)
