The above is true but on my NetBSD systems I install the attached file
as /usr/share/locale/en_{AU,CA,GB,NZ}.ISO8859-{1,15}/LC_TIME

which then lets me do the following:

city-art% env date +%x
08/22/08
city-art% env LC_TIME=en_NZ.ISO8859-1 date +%x
22/08/08

This is on 4.99.5x systems, not sure if it works on 4.0 or what the 
locale status on current currents is.
