 The locale information for Dari and Pashto need to be added to the builds.
 I am pushing this for 8.2.1 since

 a) Right now there is absolutely no locale information for the two
 languages in glibc, which means even very basic things like right to left
 rendering of the UI will not work in the two locales

 b) This needs to be done during the build. This is because even if the
 deployment team on the field wants, it would be impossible for them to add
 the information manually in each XO since the localedef tool (which adds
 the information from the definition files into the glibc locale db) will
 fail on the XO due to mmap() not working on jffs2 (workaround is to
 manually copy a 75 file on each XO, which may cause instability)


 I'm attaching the patch which needs to be applied to glibc.

 Chris, do you think this is useful enough to be worth of the last minute
 distractions ? ;-)
