externalizer

Externalizes key-value paired tags to whatever configured file (be it xml or properties file). It's useful for simple key-value properties or xml files. For now only properties files are supported. It supports i18n and l10n, so generated files follow ResourceBundle naming convention. Parameters "language", "country" and "variant" are reserved and used for this purpose.
