>=C2=A0 . For a Tifinagh line in etc/HELLO:
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 - The name of the script/language as written in itself (I= believe
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 it's =E2=B5=9C=E2=B5=89=E2=B4=BC=E2=B5=89=E2= =B5=8F=E2=B4=B0=E2=B5=96, is that right?)
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 - A greeting ("hello") in this language
>=C2=A0 . For adding a Tifinagh language environment: the suitable
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 set-language-info-alist form (see examples in misc-lang.e= l for what
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 needs to be specified there)
>=C2=A0 . Anything else you think is needed for reasonable support of th= is
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 script.

No further comments, so I've now added the necessary bits and
installed this on the master branch.
