[Bug localedata/192] New: monthname abbrev more than 3 chars?

["egmont at uhulinux dot hu" <sourceware-bugzilla@sources.redhat.com>]

In Hungarian the official abbreviation of some monthnames are longer than 3
chars (4 or 5). Please see the attached patch.

Is it right to have month name abbreviations that are longer than 3 chars in
libc? It causes troubles in some applications, e.g. mc goes stupid, and listing
within ncftp and "ls -l --time-style=locale" looks a bit silly. However, IMHO
it's better if libc provides correct monthnames and the application does some
workaround if it cannot handle more than three chars.

Furthermore, if there existed a format string to strftime() which told to
display %b in no more than 3 chars, it would help applications (e.g. mc).
(Please consider this a feature request :-)
