 Some locales have distributed WPLANG in wp-config-sample with incorrect
 values. For example NL used `nl` for a WPLANG value from 3.0 to 3.0.2.
 They now use `nl_NL`, but the damage has been done for new installs during
 that time.

 One, on the wp.org side, we should check for a full WPLANG, matching the
 expression `[a-z][a-z]_[A-Z][A-Z]` and reject the build if it fails.

 Two, get_locale() should correct for a shorthand WPLANG. More or less, if
 it's two characters (xy or XY), then make it the form of xy_XY.

 Thoughts?
