We want to get rid of dependence on such things as i18n::$all_locales, and have a robust system.

Zend_Locale seems to do what we want and is already included in 2.4 beta.

See relevant notes in http://open.silverstripe.org/ticket/5098

We need to find a way to extend Zend_Locale so as to provide such locales as M?ori/mi_NZ.

W.I.P. patch forthcoming...

This is still outstanding; I'm not sure how it relates to Ingo's recent translation work.

Its still a more complete listing of locales than we have in i18n, with proper localized titles, overall more robust - and we should switch to it. Going to be tricky as lots of i18n statics are used without accessors, so going to need some deprecation work
