[vwnc] Locales and CLDR

In working on multi-lingual support for our applications it seems to me
that it would make sense for Cincom to integrate support for Common
Locale Data Repository at least when it comes to various locales (we
already use it to generate message catalogs for things like currencies,
countries, month names and other basic things of that nature). It seems
to contain enough information to be able to support any locale without
having to maintain the various bits and pieces relating to them,

According to Arden's roadmap talk at StS '08, this is something they're
working on.
