[cp-patches] Currency formatting fix for DecimalFormat

[Andrew John Hughes]

Hi all, 
        Attached is a patch which hopefully corrects most formatting of 
currencies.
java.text.DecimalFormat is now linked to java.util.Currency for retrieving
currency symbols correctly.  Part of this patch (from Michael) also adds
these currency symbols to our locale information, and their retrieval
to java.util.Currency.  Any additions to the rather short list are welcome,
as are ideas for sources (preferably ones that can be automated) for this
information.  We also support variable currency symbol formatting using
a format found in the CLDR sources.  This is used for Indian rupees,
where values between 0 and 1 are formatted differently.
