Hey Thomas,

The pl-Krosno_Sucha_Gora file, added in commit
4cb113fd15e562f0629000fcad9f41405595198d, is the only file that
contains non-ASCII characters in the tree. This causes a number of
build issues with other packages that don't necessarily handle very
well non-ASCII file name encodings.

Since no other file in the tree contain non-ASCII characters in their
name, this commit renames pl-Krosno_Sucha_Gora similarly.

Examples of files that are named with only ASCII characters even if
the city name really contains non-ASCII characters:

   - pl-Wroclaw should be written pl-Wrocław
   - se-Laxsjo should be written se-Laxsjö
   - de-Dusseldorf should be written de-Düsseldorf
   - vn-Thaibinh should be written vn-Thái_Bình

Since there is no real standardization on the encoding of file names,
we'd better be safe and use only ASCII characters.

I agree for consistency sake and ease of use, to use plain ascii for pl-Krosno_Sucha_Gora as well. If someone feels that we should follow proper spelling using UTF-8, someone should fix up and correct all names in 1 rename patch.

Also there are various downstream users, which may simply not support UTF-8. So by using ascii we also reduce the risk of trouble there.


Thank you for the patch and it has been merged.
