Description Tod Creasey

After consulation with Nick we have decided that we will add a command line 
option -orientation with one of two parameters = rtl or ltr. These values will 
override the implied values in IDEWorkbenchAdapter

I'm assuming this support will go into the generic workbench's processing of
command line options, not just IDEWorkbenchAdvisor.

Fixed for build >20041021. See Workbench and IDEWorkbenchAdvisor for changes.

There is now a command line option -orientation that can take either rtl or 
ltr. The workbench will read this and set a system property called 
eclipse.orientation and also set the default orientation in Window.

I have also added a check of the system properties to see if this was added 
via another means

Verified in 20041102(we are now using -dir the same as help).
