I've been too enthusiastic about my polyglossia style file.  It had a
minor bug (a missing * in a regexp), but the major problem is that it
doesn't load automatically language style files.  This has probably to
do with when cleanup function is run, I'll try to inspect later today
or tomorrow.

Anyway I wrote a simple Italian style file for polyglossia.  It
essentially defines "\textitalian" macro and "italian" environment
(this is described in TODO section of polyglossia.el).  This should be
done for all languages.  In addition, polyglossia manual describes
only babelshorthands, like babel, so I took them from italian.el style
file.  These are active only when "babelshorthands=true" option has
been set for that language, either with \setkeys or
\set{main,other}language.  For other languages one should do what
polyglossia manual says, if necessary.

For the language specific hook I used the same name of italian.el, so
users don't have to define new hooks.  babel and polyglossia are
incompatible, so there should be no problem.

Bye,
Mosè
