I see your point, which is good; the drawback is that setting
<Tool>_HAS_RESOURCE_BUNDLE = yes causes a resource directory to be created
for the tool - and that is a pointless annoyance for some people who are
not using resources, as it's cluttering their filesystem with empty
resource directories for tools having no resources

I'm not particularly willing to have my filesystem cluttered in that way
myself, and I'm pretty sure people would complain if I changed the default
and every tool would start generating a resource directory. :-)

Btw - I had complaints when libraries where doing something similar in the
past.
