[jsword-devel] Idea for optimisation/improvement in iso639 lang props init

[Martin Denham]

I was wondering if we need the iso639 properties files if the language codes
and names returned by the standard Locale class contained all the codes and
names that are in the large properties file - I don't know if they do.
 Using Locale could (I think) also automatically give us locale specific
country names automatically for all Locales e.g. Angličtina instead of
English on Czech mobiles.

I haven't tried this out yet and we are only talking about 2 secs at startup
but I am trying to whittle away the 17 secs it currently takes to start up
JSword-And Bible.  However, this does possibly give other advantages.
