2014.5.21: DKLang 5.2

Fixed stream reset when dynamically creating forms
Updated pre-unicode alpha test for characters to TCharHelper.IsLetter

Added zlib file storage component for translations
Added design time editor to manage new file storage component

- DKLangStorage
- DKL_LanguageCodes
Help updated.

Package rewritten for BDS 2009 compatibility, thanks to Bruce J. Miller.
Component names moved from ANSI to Unicode
DFM resources moved from ANSI to UTF-8 (maintains backward compatablity)
Examples upgraded to Delphi 2009
TntUnicode dependencies eliminated.
AnsiString returns eliminated.
TDKLanguageManager.TranslateFromStream(Stream: TStream) added. (Thanks to DenisDL.)
Removed ANSI example.
Help updated.

The package is rewritten to implement full Unicode support; initial Unicode-enabled version is developed by Bruce J. Miller:
- String values became WideString (component property values, constants and all others except component, property and constant names).
- Added new TDKLanguageManager properties: CodePage, ConstantValueA[], ConstantValueW[].
- Added new TDKLanguageController options: dklcoIgnoreNonAlphaProps (ignore all properties with no alpha characters), dklcoIgnoreFontProps (ignore all TFont properties).
- Added new global functions for retrieving constant values: DKLangConstW(), DKLangConstA().
- Removed function GetLangIDName(); WideGetLocaleStr() should be used instead.
Constants are no longer stored in project resource file (.res). Instead, they are stored in a separate resource file (.dkl_const.res).
New examples: Ansi, Notepad.
Converted all readme files into single .chm including API reference.
Added support for BDS 2006.

Added property TDKLanguageController.SectionName which allows customizing section which stores language data.
Added properties TDKLanguageManager.LanguageIndex, TDKLanguageManager.LanguageResources[].
Bug fix: TDKLanguageManager.IndexOfLanguageID() returned value less by 1 than correct value for non-default languages.
New examples: Frames, MDI, Resource.

Fixed dcldklang installation problem under non-English versions of Delphi.

Added support for Delphi 2005.
Changed the order of applying a language: first constants are updated, then controllers. This allows to read correct constant values in controllers' OnLanguageChanged event handlers.

The first public release (all prior versions were only for private use).
