Incorrect language code for norwegian (bokm�l) 'no' should be 'nb'

The language code used by GNU libc for the norwegian language is not
correct.  The no_NO locale is in reality the bokmål variant of
norwegian.  Bokmål have it's own language code 'nb', and the correct
name for the locale would be nb_NO.  The nynorsk variant is using the
correct code 'nn'.  Would it be possible to change this?  I suggest
renaming all files using language code 'no' to 'nb', and adding an
alias for 'no' pointing to 'nb'.  Is this possible?

I'm looking at glibc v2.2.4, but this problem is present in the
current (CVS) version as well.
