OFBiz Development SVN r5205

34 new commits this week. SVN r 5205 builds successfully but entity engine tests could not run due to a Shark container problem.

Significant changes:

1. Many improvements to the Request -> Quote -> Order process
2. Significant internationalization of error messages and labels in the order and party managers
3. Change in security setting: default now calls for all paswords to be encrypted. Non-ecrypted passwords will no longer work.
