Add framework for simple adaptation of the main macro packages (mm,

me, ms, mom) to different locales.  In particular, add support for
French.  For activation, simply use `-mfr' as the last macro
package.  This feature has been contributed by Fabrice Ménard

+Groff
+-----
+
+o Fabrice Ménard contributed locales support.  In particular, it is now
+  possible to get French localization of the main macro packages (-ms, -mm,
+  -me, and -mom, but not -man and -mdoc which are localized differently) by
+  appending `-mfr' to the list of macro packages.  Example:
+
+    groff -ms -mfr foo > foo.ps
+
+  Note that latin-9 input encoding is used for French (to support the `oe'
+  ligature).
