UTF-8 locale support

[Dima Veselov <kab00m%lich.phys.spbu.ru@localhost>]

Hello!

My servers keep many files in cyrillic naming. Serving big user loads
it is hard to keep files in old encodings with outside world is already
living in UTF-8. Storing files not in UTF-8 cause some problems with Samba
and fatal problems with Linux & NFS, which don't have conversions at all.

So I feel there is time to move on UTF-8 on NetBSD too, and it seems
NetBSD 6 has ru_RU.UTF-8 support, however it is still is not complete.

Fresh installed 6.1.4 can store files in UTF-8. It also can share these
via SMB or NFS, but I can't make it work in shell.

As I see it has support only for LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES via locale.alias
having no native ru_RU.UTF-8 support.

My linux rxvt-unicode terminal (working locally as expected) with ssh to 
NetBSD box show:

[kab00m@gloria ~]$ locale
LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8

This cause cyrillic filenamse being shown good, but I cannot access it,
because shell print hex code (f.e. \:\262\321\320) instead of letters.
Bash is 4.3.0(1) out of the box. (By the way https://wiki.netbsd.org/unicode/
says it will work out of the box)

Two questions on that:

Am I right and aliasing ru_RU.UTF-8 to en_US.UTF-8 make this that bad?

If I am right - what I shall do to complete ru_RU.UTF-8 locale and have
no problems in writing cyrillic filenames?
