0.3 release process, again
Ant's points over on incubator general.

The confusion here is, I thought we were supposed to get release
approval first, _then_ create and sign the official tarballs. ("ant
release" does a source tarball too, and names things correctly.)
(I note that http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html is
amazingly unhelpful as a howto.)

What is that text?
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#notes-disclaimer says
"TODO: the incubator requires that users are informed that the by
including a standard disclaimer. may be include in README,
RELEASE_NOTES DISCLAIMER. It is recommended that it is not included in
NOTICES "
which nowhere links the actual "standard disclaimer." Hell, it's
barely intelligible. :)

> Apache Cassandra
> Copyright 2009 The Apache Software Foundation
Okay; the top google hits all used the more generic "This product
includes software developed by The Apache Software Foundation
(http://www.apache.org/)" but we can do that.

Okay, I've updated NOTICE and DISCLAIMER and re-run RAT (just to be sure).
Eric, can you tag 0.3-final and sign tarballs?

The release approval is by voting on the artifacts so they need to
exist first so they can be reviewed.
