Actually, I happened to test the only language that _was_ already
defined.  Three of the four requrested langauges where missing in
glibc.  I checked
<URL:http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html>, and
discovered that all of them now have three letter codes.

Here is a patch to fix iso-639.def.  I did not understand the sorting
order of the file, so I inserted the langauges at some semi-alphabetic
point in the file.  When this file is updated, a few of the locales
should be updated to use the new language code.  I'll locate these and
check which of the locale files available from FTP could be included.
