[izpack-devel] Missing variable substitution in packs description

I was wondering, why there's no variable substitution in the
description-elements of the PacksPanel. So if I define a variable
appname and I do a description of a pack like main components of
${appname}, I expected it to be substituted.

Here's a sample for install.xml:

<variable name="appname" value="izPack v3.9.0"/>
<packs>
  <pack name="Core components" id="core">
     <description>The core components of ${appname}</description>
     ...
  </pack>
</packs>

This "problem" is easy to fix in PacksPanelBase.valueChanged(). I
attached a patch for it. Would be nice, if you also found this useful
and put it into the 3.9.0.

Regards,
   Dennis
