[Building Sakai] Renaming tools (bad habit)

This is along the lines I was thinking of. It could be done in a
reasonably backwards compatible way by having the variable in the
temple be something like:

<span class="tool-title">Resources</span>

This way if the help tool doesn't support replacing the tool title it
gets pass through, but if it does then the updated tool title gets
substituted.

Otherwise you have the problem that contrib tools wouldn't use the
substitution as they didn't want to drop support for older versions of
the help tool.
