Currently the "usual" way to do this is to override prepare_path to 
strip the language off the front, populate at bit of stash and stick the 
path part on the end of $c->req->base so $c->uri_for works correctly. As 
of 5.70 there'll be an easier way, but while I've got most of the code 
working for it the user-level docs aren't written yet so I'll keep an 
explanation to myself for now :)
