I've uploaded a patch for osmarender which support two new features:

1. preferedLanguages parameter. if preferedLanguages=":en,:de,,:he"
    osmarender will use the first of avaiable tags from:
            name:en,name:de,name,name:he
    "name" is just an example, it applies to ALL keys used for text
rendering in the rules: text,areaText,caption,pathText.

2. Support making one tag be exactly the same as another tag using the
following construct:
         name:he="hebrew text"
         name="$(name:he)"
   This is not full variable expansion, just the ability for tag A to
say: i have exactly the same value as tag B.

What is the process for approval/rejection of this patch?
