Windows XP SP3

Made package language-independent
Silent installer for Windows XP Service Pack 3 (Italian version in this case).
Checks uninstall information and registry key "CSDVersion" so that it will not try to install on a machine with SP3 factory preinstalled, which typically does not show "Windows XP Service Pack 3" in the Add/Remove program application.

Instead of calling the Service Pack installer straight from within the WPKG package, we call a batch-file which determines the system-locale and executes the localized service pack installer (as diferent locales won't install).
This is the possible source code of that batch-files <code>install-localized-SP3.cmd</code> (You can of course add/delete languages to your needs; see http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/lcid-all.mspx for a complete list)
