[tex-hyphen] Names of files in OFFO

[Mojca Miklavec]

Dear Simon and Luis,

I didn't look at
    http://tug.org/svn/texhyphen?view=revision&revision=727
careful enough, but Arthur noticed that some of our filenames were
incorrectly translated to your filenames.

Here is what Arthur wrote:

Simon, Luis, we are using the only way to assign names to languages
that gives us sufficient flexibility, that is
    http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry
We will have to document this better at some place.

If you need different codes, we probably need to come up with some
solution that works for you. Some names in our repository are indeed a
bit "weird", but I don't know how to express Classical Latin as a
POSIX locale. For Ethiopic scripts we could probably come up with a
list of all languages written in that script.
