Another language question concerning 1.6

[infograf768]

The current xx-XX.xml files for each language installed in the core
folders contains, among others, these tags:
<locale>
<winCodePage>
<backwardLang>

They were created to provide backward compatibility and migration with
J! 1.0 or get the right Jdate depending on servers used.

I do not know if anybody is really using these, even in legacy
extensions in 1.5. If some 3pd do, the informations provided would
anyway be of no help for many languages as these infos are useless in
these languages.

Since Anthony patched 1.5 to get JDate independantly from the server
locale (Windows or others) in 1.5.3 or 4, shall we not consider them
now as obsolete for 1.6 as we will not anymore have a legacy layer to
1.0 ?

Sounds fine to me for 1.6

This is excatly the way we are using it for Joom!Fish during the site
migration.

Sounds fine to me too. I would argue most of the migrations are done
1.0 -> 1.5 anyway. And from there to 1.6 shouldn't be a problem.
