I encourage upgrading to 3.x, and i'll consider 3.2 production after I
attend to 3 outstanding issues/requests.  3.x makes it easier to make
localizations such as this and still be easy to make future upgrades.

you would copy the definition for a device type to a new name, create a
new module to handle your localization, and configure your new device
type to use it.  eg rancid.types.conf:

	crisco;script;rancid -t crisco
	crisco;login;clogin
	crisco;module;ios
	crisco;module;ios_local
	crisco;inloop;ios::inloop
	crisco;command;ios::ShowVersion;show version
	# skipit crisco;command;ios::ShowRedundancy;show redundancy secondary
	crisco;command;ios_local::ShowIDprom;show idprom backplane
	crisco;command;ios::ShowInstallActive;show install active
		....

i believe the type configs could be more featureful and i've left some
comment about that in the manpage, but its handy for this need.
