:) There is never a season for 'goto' statements :) You want to
perform this code twice, at most. It seems more logical to place it in
a for loop that repeats twice.
The bibletime guys maintain the locale wiki page. Great suggestion
about the comments. I don't have access to the page to add the suggestion.
Thanks for the help with this! I'm non-en_us locale stupid, so all
comments and code are most appreciated!
