better i18n fieldtypes for currency & date

I18n Fieldtypes Extension Module

Info

This module provides improved fieldtypes to handle Currency and Date for internationalization.
It lets you define your formats via translation files or static setters., _(*1)

To enable the classes use:, _(*2)

Object::useCustomClass('SS_Datetime','I18nDatetime', true);

To set your formats, override the language file entries or set them directly like:, _(*3)

I18nDatetime::setFormatNice('%e. %B %G');

So you can easily customize the template methods like Nice, NiceDate, Nice24 etc.
For currency values it adds a Pure method, which formats the amount nicely but omits the symbol.
Also a Raw wrapper is provided to unify the access to the unformatted value., _(*4)

For the Money class, which uses Zend Money, use a setter and a options array:, _(*5)

Object::useCustomClass('Money','I18nMoney', true);
//@see http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.currency.options.html
I18nMoney::setOptions(array('display' => Zend_Currency::USE_SHORTNAME,
            'position' => Zend_Currency::RIGHT));
