Have just updated excalibur/meta to include a seperate service
meta-info object, associated builders, and DTD.

The builder follows the same pattern as the Type builder:
 
  ServiceBuilder builder = new ServiceBuilder();
  builder.enableLogging( logger );
  Service service = builder.build( classname, classloader );

The resulting service object contains a classname, version and
attributes.  The XML used to declare the service is as follows:

  <service>
     <version>1.2</version>
     <attributes/>
  </service>

Have also updated Merlin to to support loading and validation of
service descriptions based on Avalon: Service manifest declarations.

Cheers, Steve.
