hmm... That are quiet a lot of changes. I wasn't aware that this would leed to so much code. Can you once again explain, why we not just add the FORMAT_TIMESTAMP etc as translation key like:

 confSet('FORMAT_TIMESTAMP', __('D, d.M Y H:i'));

or

if(__('__FORMAT_TIMESTAMP__|check translation guide') != '__FORMAT_TIMESTAMP__') {
 confSet('FORMAT_TIMESTAMP', __('__FORMAT_TIMESTAMP__'));
}

This would keep up us from using php's setlocale() function and still allow a straight forward method of localizing the date format. I had soooo much problems with the php date stuff, I don't want to use it anymore. I have nightmares about someone coming with an early v5.0.0 and telling me setlocale works different or not at all.

setlocale() is one of the reasons I would never use PHP as a programming language again :)

I don't want to be too restrictive, though. Sorry...
