Details

Maybe as simple as grouping the with the $xxxxx$, but see if we can make it as easy as possible. Dan has some ideas which he mentions in 116967.
nominating and adding Tao. The core install scripts have grown from something completely generic to doing more and now requiring localized strings. Or perhaps a completely different (and probably wrong-headed) approach: could the shortcut creation code be moved into the language packs? It'd be logically wrong in some ways, and determining whether mail and aim were installed would be a hurdle. On the other hand it would group the translatable stuff together, and the browser and mail installs are incomplete and non-functional without a language pack so they are an inseparable set.

Given the time I think we're stuck having to edit the browser and mail install scripts. Maybe intl can help us in moving this into the language packs instead (or default language maybe). We'd either have to pass arguments or have the script check the version registry for which components were installed (and of course install all those components before the one which creates the shortcuts).
