[wp-hackers] Improvements to the WordPress l10n framework

[Omry Yadan]

I updated the example to use a stack.

now each plugin registers two actions:

"some_action" and "another_action".

when the do-stuff.php file calls do_action("some_action"), each plugin
call do_action("another_action") from its own action callback.

the result seems to be working correctly.
