New subject: Remove unnecessary #pragma code_page(xxxx) statements from winefile .rc files

...
  This is because 'LANGUAGE LANG_xxxx'
statements don't actually change
 code page specified by a previous '#pragma code_page(xxxx)', therefore
 russian resources get translated to unicode using wrong code page.
 I don't know whether it's an rc bug or a feature. We either need
 to remove '#pragma code_page' statements altogether, or add them
 to all included .rc files. I took the 1st approach.

  Changelog:
     Dmitry Timoshkov &lt;dmitry(a)codeweavers.com&gt;
     Remove unnecessary #pragma code_page(xxxx) statements from
     winefile .rc files, they confuse the resource compiler. 
Please be carefull to remove the code page pragmas.
IMHO this is not the correct way.
When there is no other code page given, the resource compiler uses the
current code page of the operating system. And I don't think, all of those
language specific resource scripts will compile correct on all possible
OS code pages. The reliable way would be to include the correct code
page at the begin of all resource scripts.
Please take in mind: Wine is compiled on many different environments:
LANG_C, de_DE.ISO-8859-1, en_EN.UTF-8, swedish, or whatever...
Removing the code page pragmas would require to test the correctness of
the compilation results of all different languages on all possible platforms.
