Because of historical reasons the story module help contained all sortts
of odd texts, that are partly even untrue.

This patch changes the help so that it:
* stresses that stories are nodes in their simplest form
* removes all the bloat about workflow. workflow can be configured for
any node type, why should nstories mention it?
* removes parts of voting, queues, promotion, comments etc. Any node
type can have this. 
* adds a note that you can use stories for personal blogging, and as
general pages, pages with no specific purpose (I consider, for example,
a forum node a node with a special purpose)
* stresses that you should use other modules (taxonnomy, menu) to give
the node a place on your site. 

set to CVS but will apply to 4.5 too.....

previous patch was the one before spellchecking. This one is without the
two spelling errors.

After some discussion on the drupal-docs ML, i came up with the
following help-texts:

Short:
Stories are articles in their simplest form: they have a title, a 
teaser and a body, but can be extended by other modules. The teaser is

part of the body too. Stories may be used as a personal blog or for
news  
articles.

Longer:
Stories are articles in their simplest form: they have a title, a 
teaser and a body, but can be extended by other modules. The teaser is

part of the body too. Stories may be used as a personal blog or for
news  
articles. By default, no menu item, or navigation element is  
created for a story.  An extra feature of a  
story is, that an administrator can specify a submission guideline and 

enforce a minimum word count for user submitted stories

AARHGH, such a simple patch, so much hassle. My mistake, uplaoded the
wrong one again.

This one should be right.
