* I created some basic language include files, but I'm not sure what is the best way to go ahead yet.

+  Constants used throughout fpGUI will be defined here. This includes
+  language constants for localization. For now, localization is very simplistic
+  and done at compile time. At a later date we can autodetect and autoselect
+  the correct language resource at runtime.
+  
+  GetText might also be a better option.
