Hi Stas and company,

Congratulations on reaching this milestone! I know it's been a long  
process and a lot of work to get here, and having this extension will  
make the development of internationalized applications in PHP much,  
much easier. Yes, there's always more, but this is a huge step forward.

Thank you very much to all who contributed!
Norbert
