Applied for about 3 minutes, then reverted ... sorry :(

Short version: The staff client uses two techniques for building
interfaces: chrome:// (local, client-side content) and http://.
Mozilla chrome has its own i18n mechanisms, but AFAIK we're not making
use of them yet.  The remote (http) stuff will use mod_xmlent, just
like the OPAC.  This patch was built using the mod_xmlent mechanism,
but the files altered live in local chrome ...

Thanks Dan ... :)
