[Web4lib] Multiple Languages for IE7

[Andrew]

Bob,

That method isn't going to work in the public library environment where 
the browser and OS is locked down against such updates. I know that on 
our public computers (Group Policy and Public Web Browser running over 
IE 7), you don't get prompted for these updates.
