[Mono-dev] missing cultures

[Steve Bjorg]

Wow, yeah no kidding.  I dug a bit into the code.  One of the xml  
files contains a definition for "de-li", but that culture still  
doesn't work.  Others already included in the lcids.xml list are:
* en-jm
* en-bz
* en-tt
* fr-mc
* de-li
* ko-kr

So, I wonder, why do those code not work.  (Also, I ran the test app  
on 1.2.6p2 with the same outcome as below).
