How about adding new language per request basis??  If I do not
misunderstand, main purposes of `HELLO' is to show and check
multilingual (multi-script) capability of Emacs and font availability in
user's installation.

`Removing' existing languages in HELLO file may not certainly be
appropriate.  As there are thousands of languages in the world,
attempting to add every languae unconditionaly may shadow the purpose of
HELLO file.

Difficulty comes from verifying if languages collected from the Internet
is really correct, or did I properly copy them to the text file.  Thanks
for pointing me of an error on Breton and Catalan...  That's my own
mistake.
