Alrighty :) I'm not going to force-feed localization down anyone's throat myself, and since there are some who seem almost pissed at the idea... Well :) Looks like there's just not a need for it.
Anyway... So what of my actual patch we were discussing at some point? I never got a real answer as to if it would be suitable to commit.
