 Here is a summary:

 - Autoloading based on the BCP47 codes, with basic lookup.

 - Now only a few essential commands are loaded in the format.

   Bengali, and Finnish.

 - First steps in the removal of switch.def and plain.def.

 - Fixes:
   - Babel reset the \sfcode of » to 1000. It should be 0.
   - \guillemotleft and \guillemotleft renamed to \guillemetleft
      and \guillemetleft (#63).
   - A couple of bugs related to autoloading.
