Hey Francois, the isocodes are there, because the flags-icons are named 
like this. We could use an itemsProcfunc for the selection array, would 
be no problem, but I did not know where to put it.

The typeicon_classes we cannot get around... there it does not matter if 
we use "classic" typeicons or sprites for typeicons, all information 
about all types has to be present in tca.

So as it does not make sense to have one array be build dynamically and 
another one hardcoded I left them both as such. And since this is a real 
static info (names of all files present in flag folder without 
extension) i just put it static.

That's why it's like it is.
