Re: [PATCH][BZ 17692] da_DK: Change currency_symbol from "kr" to "kr."

[Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh at redhat dot com>]

I don't know if anybody actually looks at libc-locales anymore (I got
it because you cc'd me, thanks and sorry for the delay since I missed
the patch in my email), so adding libc-alpha instead.  If nobody
objects, I'll change the Contribution checklist to reflect this by the
end of the week.

The patch itself is fine and I'll apply it tomorrow my time (i.e. in
roughly 24 hours).  A few pointers if you intend to contribute more
patches:

1. The patch needs a ChangeLog entry

2. Please send the patch as inline text so that it is easy to comment
   on.  In this case, the patch is trivial and hence no comments were
   needed.

Thanks,
Siddhesh
