Glenn - I appreciate you doing the fix - I probably wouldn't have gotten to
it myself until this weekend. Thanks also for importing it into CVS.
There is one thing that still needs to be done -- the main build.xml file
should be updated to include i18n so that it gets put into the nightly
builds.
I'd do this myself but I don't have access to the CVS for committing. Glenn
- can you (or someone else) do this for me?
Thanks!
Tim
