Correct, either we treat this at runtime (dynamically loading the 
function on Mac OS X >=10.3) or we just use the fallback 'en' in case 
non ISO identifiers will be will be detected.

The question is how many users are still using 10.2 and is this number 
big enought to justify effort. As we all know the resources for the Mac 
OS X port are very limited already so that we should concentrate and set 
the right priorities.

Kind regards,
