I just checked my Fedora Core 3 install:

[perrin@localhost freeciv-2.0]$ ls /usr/share/locale/no/LC_MESSAGES/|wc -l
142
[perrin@localhost freeciv-2.0]$ ls /usr/share/locale/nb/LC_MESSAGES/|wc -l
96

On cvs.freeciv.org, which is Fedora Core 1, the ratio is 95 to 2. Another
Fedora Core 3 had 724 to 126.

I moved freeciv.mo from the "no" directory to the "nb" directory, and no
text is translated anymore. So my LANG env variable needs to be "nb" as
well, which it is not by default on Fedora, apparently.

So this is a mess. Perhaps the best solution is to install _both_ as 'no'
and 'nb' until the mess resolves itself. Attached patch will do this
automatically. I have tested it with both 'make install' and 'make dist'.
