** Class:  NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute
** 
** <OWNER>Microsoft</OWNER>
**
**
** Purpose: Tells the ResourceManager what language your main
**          assembly's resources are written in.  The 
**          ResourceManager won't try loading a satellite
**          assembly for that culture, which helps perf.
**
**
** NOTE:
**
** This custom attribute is no longer implemented in managed code.  As part of a perf optimization,
** it is now read in Module::GetNeutralResourcesLanguage, accessed from ManifestBasedResourceGroveler 
** through an internal runtime call.
