Do you mean charset.alias ?

The original codes generate charset.alias having ll_CC.codeset. But on 
OS/2, people usually do not set codeset.

So it is meaningful to use aliases for ll_CC. And if an user specify 
codeset, it should be respected. Moreover, many aliases in charset.alias 
are not compatible with OS/2.

What is OS/2 specific packages ?

Finally, I have two question.

The one is that it takes a very long time to receive a reply from you.

From six months to 1 year.

Is there any special reason ?

The other one is where to submit the patches for gnulib.

Can you tell me ?
