[development] update_status and the new project node functionality

[Derek Wright]

Now that you've all had a few days to play with the new toys, I  
finally pulled the lever to generate the XML files that update_status  
uses based on the new settings on your project nodes.  So, your  
changes on those settings are now "live" for the purposes of  
update_status -- please be cautious and aware of the fact that when  
you deselect the "supported" checkbox on a given branch, your users  
will see a nice big red warning about it.

After I did this, I noticed a few modules (e.g. devel and  
comment_upload) where giving me warnings since the officially  
supported versions were 5.x-0.*, but i was running a 5.x-1.x-dev  
(from CVS).  I fixed up the settings on those two modules, so now  
both 5.x-0.* and 5.x-1.* are supported, but the official releases  
from 5.x-0.* are still recommended.  However, other modules that use  
'0' for the major version should beware, check the node/N/edit/ 
releases tab on your project(s), and configure things  
appropriately.   This is exactly the kind of edge case that the  
heuristics I mentioned in a previous message couldn't handle without  
human intervention.

Cheers,

p.s. For now, these XML files are only regenerated every 6 hours, so  
if you alter some project settings, then manually fetch data on the  
available updates report, you won't immediately see the changes.  I'd  
like to see that fixed if anyone wants to help.  See:
