Only tricky part is that for the US locale, it's not automatic. US and 
non-US locale data co-exist in sun/text/resources/en and 
sun/util/resources/en. Considering the traditional build is going away, 
I just modified the existing file lists to work with the desired 
US/non-US separation.

Will look into this and come up with some data.
