<i18n dev> [9] Review Request - JDK-8055222: ISO 4217 Amendment #159

[Yong Huang]

Hi Naoto, Mark,

Thank you for all the comments. I will keep "Cape Verde" unchanged in 
LocaleNames.properties since CLDR is de facto standard of locale data.

So far I assume that the request has been approved and I will commit and 
push back the change in 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~yhuang/8055222/webrev.00/ without any 
modification. If I need to make any change, please feel free to tell me.

thanks,
Yong
