Hi Justin,

I just took a look at the submits.

* The change spans 6 commits.  Is there some reason you didn't combine
them since all the changes were related to one "feature"?
* I would have preferred that you renamed flex-config.xml to
flex-config-template.xml so I could have easily seen what you changed and
the version history was preserved.
* flex-config now has @locale@ and {locale}.  I think your change has made
{locale} obsolete since @locale@ could be used instead. Then the compiler
wouldn't have do the scan and make the substitution for each file compiled.
* build_framework.xml doesn't really need the property def for locale
since it is set in build.properties. In fact, it gives the false
impression that setting it will change the locale which isn't the case
anymore.
* I'm a bit concerned that the format of <name> in
flex-sdk-description.xml changed.  I know FlashBuilder looks at that.
I'll have to test the current and preview release for the next version.
* Thanks for fixing {$locale}.

Carol
