    $ man 1 mklocale
    $ man 1 colldef

    $ cd $TMPDIR
    $ mkdir c:\\vodka && cd c\:\\vodka # yes it's still Mac OS X
    $ curl 'http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/share/colldef/de_DE.ISO8859-15.src?rev=1.6.44.1.2.1;content-type=text/plain' > de_DE.ISO8859-15.src

    $ echo adjustments are beyond my scope
    $ colldef -o VALOPUEK < de_DE.ISO8859-15.src
    $ sudo mv VALOPUEK /usr/share/locale/VALOPUEK

Long live small, easy and otherwise beautiful standards.)
