[Mediawiki-i18n] CLDR and Names.php

Nice!

You describe quite accurately how daunting this process may be for any 
person trying to include a new language.

Moreover, it happens that the first attempts to include a new language 
are made by persons like me (translators, writers...), without a deep 
knowledge of what's going on in the technical side of Unicode standards 
and have to learn it the hard way. Oddly enough, things become easier 
once you pass the entry point and you can use the Survey Tool :)

Best regards.
