Comment:

 I am totally convinced that this is now as it should be. Plus, it can
 easily be expanded later to also do some l10n stuff, using
 OpenLayers.Number.Format (e.g. for the scale).

 Thank you madair and tschaub for the great work!

 There might be problems with the single-file build, so I uploaded a new
 patch that adds a @requires for Lang/en.js to OpenLayers.js.

 I saw that the patch pulls out /some/ console messages, but not /all/. I
 think this is ok. In my opinion, console messages do not have to be
 translated at all, because the user will not see them. In my new patch all
 language resources that are only used in console messages are commented as
 {{{//console message}}}. The idea is that contributors who want to create
 language files for other languages do not have to translate those.

 I hope you agree with those minor changes. Feel free to commit.
