Thanks ... I've added that, documented the API, and added configure stuff to check for ICU version 4 or greater (since your code seems to need that version).
I haven't actually built/used the code though ... none of the systems I have access to has ICU version 4 (they all come with version 3.?) ... so I guess this code is mostly for people who are able/willing to build/install a recent ICU from source rather than using the package from their distribution?

I just followed the API available from icu-project.org.  I'll take a look at it again and see what it looks like for v3.  If it's trivial, I'll go ahead and add it.

 

I did notice, the opposite of what's provided in Language/Locale.aliases canonical*IdentifierFromString: will be needed.  For the Language variant, a new file, possibly named Languague.aliases, will be required.  As for the Locale variant, I'm not sure if there's a way to use what's already provided by -base.

 

I've also been playing around with <locale.h>, but the output of the functions there are completely different and will require a lot of mapping, back and forth.
