Locale sets

Hello,

I have a question about the old (current) build system. There are 
resource files for various locales, most of them are present explicitly 
in the source while others are generated based on another. The makefiles 
are aware of the set of locales being included in the build. The set can 
be limited by either providing a complete set yourself in a make 
variable or by choosing between three predefined sets called "jdk", 
"jre" and "plugin". I'm wondering what the reason is for wanting to 
limit the amount of locales being built and if anyone is using this 
feature. Also, what's the purpose of the three predefined sets?
