Minor changes:
* New Platform and Toolchain

* Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.

* Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
a vob.

Note: Perl 5.14 is not recommended.
Perl 5.8.8 is recommended.

* Windows utilities

Major changes:
* Jats Release Mechanism
Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
released using the 'standard' mechanism.

Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.

A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
itself with Release Manager. ie: package_name_package_version

* Running Jats
Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
This may affect some windows developers.

This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
Future versions will generate an error.

Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.

Minor changes:
* Perl Version Check
Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.

* Build Directive: BuildVersion
This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
build.

* Jats Internals
Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.

* Jats Tool: CCbc2
Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
process.

Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
Only works under Windows.

Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.

* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly

* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.

* Jats eprog
Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
directory.

* jats tool jats_metrics
A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
build metrics.
