[Bug localedata/4705] New: Weekday start information wrong (missing) in et_EE locale


When using LC_TIME=et_EE.UTF-8 the calendar has Sunday as the first day of the
week. This is absolutely wrong, as Monday has always been the first day of the
week since recorded history and use of such 7 day calendars in estonian calendars.

It seems the locale does not set first_weekday nor first_workday (also checked
in cvsweb -
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/localedata/locales/et_EE?rev=1.16&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=glibc)
and it probably should to get this corrected - something like was done in
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/localedata/locales/ru_RU.diff?r1=1.29&r2=1.30&cvsroot=glibc
or maybe by reordering the weekday names in abday, day and touching up week-1stday

The weekday starts with Monday (Esmaspäev) in Estonia and workdays are from
Monday to Friday (Reede).

I hope this can be fixed trivially.
