Yeah, I've been wrestling with that question.  The best idea
I have at the moment is to look at "locale -a" output to see
which country codes Solaris thinks there are for each language,
and duplicate that.  What's unclear is whether we should do
that on-the-fly to match the build machine, or do it once to
produce a curated list that could be subject to maintenance.
The former is like what we do to populate pg_collation
(although we do that at initdb not build time).  But the latter
seems like it might be wiser policy.
