What about a pacth that adds a common Locale.cs copy, modifies sources files
and removes unused Locale.cs files?

Not that the single Locale.cs cannot be the same as we have today because we
have 7 versions today. In fact there are 3 functionally different versions
only.

All of them contains "static string GetText (string)" but corlib has "static
string GetText (string, params object [])" and MWF has "static object
GetResource(string)".

So I have to create a modified version from corlib's Locale.cs that has as
well "static object GetResource(string)".

Do you think if I post the described patch it can be reviewed easily? If you
have comments please let me know what should I change.
