* update (not-so-)optional package ICU to 4.8.1, which contains interesting stuff
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!

* reintroduced be_locale as global information point for the current locale
values
* added locking to BLocale (needed since the data of the global object may
change any time)
* BLocale no longer passes out pointers to internal objects, it fill objects
passed in by the client instead (just like be_locale_roster does)
* dropped default language as member from RosterData, it is no part of the
default locale
* fleshed out implementation of TimeUnitFormat and DurationFormat, both
of which can now be given a BLocale in order to set the strings being used
during formatting

Largish cleanup sweep concerning the Locale Kit (sorry it got so big):
* refactored private/mutable stuff out of LocaleRoster into MutableLocaleRoster
* moved management of Locale/Time settings file and broadcasting of any changes
out of preflets and into MutableLocaleRoster
* added proper sorting to the listviews of the Locale preflet
* the Time preflet no longer overlaps long timezone names into the actual time
* several fixes with respect to leaking ICU objects, esp. in BCountry
* the locale roster no longer passes out references to its own BCountry object,
but uses copies, instead - this makes locking superfluous, as the clients'
BCountry objects can no longer be changed by the setting a new default
country in the locale roster
* removed pretty useless POSIX-style symbol fetching from BCountry - if we
need that at all, it should live in the dedicated formatter classes
* adjusted readonlybootprompt, dstcheck and Deskbar to the changed Locale API
* refactored existing Time-formatter into TimeUnitFormat and DurationFormat
(the latter of which is now used by AboutSystem)
* added stubs for Date, DateTime and Time formatters
* lots of coding style fixes throughout the Locale Kit and the Locale and Time
preflets
This will probably break most external apps making use of the Locale Kit - it
does break WebPositive.
