Mhmm, I'm not really enthused to maintain collation tables for a bunch
of languages just to avoid locales.
Instead, I suggest that a future `texindex` Perl script simply emits a
warning if no fitting locale is available (that is, we should request
such a feature from the Texinfo maintainers in case it isn't
provided).
