*sigh*  I guess this will be yet another PO file with a big collection
of country names (or language names) to localize.   It is not too bad
when the ISO-code PO files are in good shape, but they are not always
very complete in some languages.

The number of times a list language names is in the PO files of things
we use has already had me wondering if there might be some way to
directly exploit the ISO-639 (and maybe ISO-3166) PO files, rather
than just doing the copy/paste from them into multiple PO files.  Some
smart dev might think about that. . .

Anyway, bring on the country names and we'll turn the localizers loose
on them.  I wonder if I shouldn't start hosting the ISO-3166 PO files
locally anyway, especially if Alan keeps going with his
"Conozco"-series of region specific geography activities.
