convenience method for creating locales?

[David Wetzel]

Hi folks,

NSCalendarDate has descriptionWithCalendarFormat:locale: which needs a locale.

Imagine I have a web application that needs a German (DE) locale for some 
sessions, for some a DE-AT 
(January is 'Jänner' in Austrian not 'Januar' like German) and for some EN to 
name a few.
It does not matter what the locale of the current user process is.

Is there something like

// name is 'DE' or 'FR' or 'DE-AT'...
+ (NSDictionary*) localeWithName:(NSSting*) shortName

This should contain all data to create a localized NSCalendarDate.

Any hints?

Thank you.
