Added an easy way to switch language settings, or to customize language settings.

Added support for adding a word search label, which appears between the grid and the clues. Tip: use this space to give instructions for the word search.
Crosswordz's "Puzzle Preview" window is now taller on monitors that support it. It will stay clear of the dock on Mac OS X.
Now its easier than ever to purchase and register Crosswordz, with 2 new menu options.

I am using this programm many years and it is the best looking crossword programm.
But I have one wish: Make it working with Moodle (like the Hotpotatoe-plugin).
