This patch finally makes the language contribution extension point complete. It now manages to manage the toolbar items properly, such that each instance of ILanguageContributor can actually be connected to a particular editor with a particular input (for different languages and for different files in the same language). 

This required some intricate use of IPartListener2 API in UniversalEditor. 

I'm submitting it as a patch for careful review. I think it is an important enhancement for the IMP run-time since toolbar items are such a good way to design interaction with the user but we never had it readily available to the IDE developer.

Alas. it is broken :-( This particular issue is nagging me bigtime. It is some intricate problem with the way the platform expects toolbars to be connected to editor-id's that just does not fly well with UniversalEditor. I'm ready to make a new GUI element at the top of UniversalEditor to host buttons, just to avoid this entire issue. ToolBars are nice to have; I think even essential for usability.
