It does, thank you very much :-)

For the archive, here's how I did it:

    ftp ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/french-1.4/locale.tgz
    tar --to-stdout -xzf locale.tgz ./usr/share/locale/iso_8859_1/LC_CTYPE \
      > /usr/share/locale/de/LC_CTYPE

As a result of this, setting LC_CTYPE to 'de' gives me the non-ASCII
characters I wanted.
Of course, the LC_CTYPE file is not language-dependent and can thus be
used with other languages.

Many thanks to Giles and Wolfgang as well. I'm going to upgrade to
-current as soon as I've got a larger disk.

bye,
