The packages org/apache/xalan/res/ and
org/apache/xpath/res/ use a very non-standard approach to
internationalization. They implement their own resource bundle lookup
and have localizable content embedded in a lot of code, making it very
hard for localizers to figure out how to go about translating the stuff.

Also, the makefiles use NEW_RESOURCE_BUNDLES_PROPERTIES incorrectly.
This variable is intended to identify localizable property resource
bundles. As far as I can tell, none of the files listed is intended to
be localized. On the other hand, the files that should be localized are
not identified.

Please update these packages to use standard resource bundles and to
follow the "Preparing J2SDK Components for Localization" guidelines as
given at http://javaweb.eng/jdk/eng/prepLocalization.html.
