       Body:
Moving Ross' suggestion over from task FOR-454 ...

I would like to make a suggestion for this issue which will save us time on 
future releases.

If we add an attribute to the action element in skinconfig called "announce" 
with a value of true or false (default to false) we can auto generate the 
announcement of new features.. 

Furthermore, if we add an element "upgrade" which contains a textual 
description of how to upgrade from the previous version we can generate the 
upgrade document too. 

These documents, being auto generated would build during the developmentof the 
project making it easier for someone to return to the project after a while 
away. 

I would therefore suggest that in fixing this issue for the 0.7 release we 
focus on adding this information to status.xml and writing the necessary 
stylesheets. Remember we only need to produce XDoc as Forrest will give us a 
neat text version of the document.
