for message formatting
* adjust LocaleKit to use namespace 'icu', as ICU has been configured to no longer
use a version specific namespace
* adjust LocaleKit to general API changes in ICU 4.8
Note: all software using ICU (like WebPositive) needs to be rebuilt!
Note: the ICU package for PPC needs to be updated before it can be used!

* BLocale now keeps language and country completely separate and
mixes the formatting conventions into the current language's locale
when formatting dates and times (needs to be done for number- and
currency-formatting, too, since the digits may not be in the
preferred language)
* optimized fetching of the flag icons such that they are all loaded
in one go (by the locale roster) - this alone speeds up the Locale
preflet considerably
* worked on fixing the language confusion in the Locale preflet
* fixed a couple of bugs in the Locale preflet that would lead to
illegal characters being displayed in the date-subpart menus
