Preparing Fortress for Release

[Berin Loritsch <bl...@apache.org>]

For the most part, Fortress is pretty much done.  I know there
is some concern about the meta information model for Fortress,
but I think we can resolve that quickly and easily.

Fortress respects the known contracts (to the best of my knowledge)
for the following tags:

@avalon.component
@avalon.service type="Type"

As well as the extension tags:

@x-avalon.lifestyle type="singleton"
@x-avalon.info name="config-name"

It also supports a couple fortress specific tags:

@fortress.name config-name
@fortress.handler org.apache.avalon.fortress.impl.handler.MyNewHandler

These are used in case the x-avalon ones cannot be possibly
respected.  I think we are ok with those though.  Also the
handler is there in case we want to experiment with a new Lifecycle
handler.

There are two known limitations:

Fortress has a global namespace, so @avalon.dependency is not
used.

Fortress components must only have one @avalon.service definition,
because of the ECM limitations of only one work interface per component.

I believe I can break Fortress from this limitation without breaking
the RoleManager.  I believe I can get this done today.

Are there any other issues that need to be worked out?

science :D

besides the usual "could do with more docs, could do with more tests, 
could do with more", none that I'm aware of.
