ChangeLog for Avalon Framework 4.0
*) Added new method to Component Manager and Selector
for discovering if a Component exists inside or not.
Also augmented the default versions with the basic
implementation to discover them. [BL]
*) Added stylesheet to convert Stylebook markup to
DocBook markup. [BL]
*) Changed the documentation build process to use Cocoon
to build the site. [BL]
*) Added new "Developing with Avalon" book in DocBook
format. [BL]

*) Updated Resolvable interface to allow a ContextException
to be thrown on failure. [PD]

of Configuration, Context and ComponentManager.
Calling this method after the respective object

*) Update documentation so that it is more accurate
and descriptive. [BL]
