Cameron,

On tomorrow's meeting I'd like to discuss the place of the widgets texts
within MapBuilder.  Currently they are under the skin directory.  This
has the (huge) disadvantage that creating a new skin means copying all
widget texts *and maintaining them*.  Even the trunk code only has
complete and up to date widget texts under the "default" skin.

My proposal is to move the widget texts to their own directory,
lib/text, with sub-directories for all supported languages (en, fr, it,
nl) and the widgetText.xml underneath it. 
I think the config element widgetTextUrl should be dropped, we always
assume the right directory layout anyway, so we might as well fix the
name of the file to widgetText.xml.  I also think we should drop the
config element widgetTextDir and always derive it from the baseDir.

For those who worry whether you still can provide your own widget texts,
or override the current ones: that was already possible with the
userWidgetTextDir config element I added.

Regards,
