Not really ... but you can silence the thing programmatically either by 
changing the descriptor that NSLog writes to, or by replacing the 
handler function which performs the write.

See base/Source/NSLog.m for details.  This stuff should be documented 
properly, but is pretty hard to find right now I'm afraid.

However ... if you have no resources ... you have no characterset 
information ... I'd be worried about that in almost any program.
The timezone stuff is less critical.
