[Mono-winforms-list] Important ResourceManager notes

[Rafael Teixeira]

I suggest to have our ResourceManager be smarter than MS's one, and
first search non-neutral resources in the main assembly and just try
the sattelite ones if not found. That way we are compatible with
VS.NET projects generated assembly-sets but can accomodate a basic set
of localizations in just one assembly, what would be nicer to compile
and package/distribute.

Or maybe the order should be reversed to allow for updated
localizations being distributed as sattellites and override the basic
internal set. Opinions are welcome.
