[Mono-winforms-list] Important ResourceManager notes

[Peter Dennis Bartok]

We have a test app in winforms/messagebox, that switches to the german 
locale, to test reading non-neutral resources. When I run that with our 
System.Windows.Froms.dll, but with Microsoft's runtime, it does read the 
non-neutral locale. Doesn't that contradict the statement that MS does not 
support it?

Cheers,
  Peter

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.
