[platform-vcm-dev] Released new project configuration dialog

The new Project configuration dialog has been released. (The one you get 
when you right-click on a project and say Team->Configure project...).

-Previously, the configuration dialog was intended for taking your local 
work and importing it into the CVS server for the first time. This was of 
limited use.

-The new dialog supports the following types of workflows:
        -User creates project locally and wants to check out an existing 
cvs module into the project.
        -User creates project locally, does some work, and wants to import 
it into the CVS server for the first time.
        -User creates project locally, does some work, and then decides to 
join work already in progress on the CVS server.

-A new page (#3) of the wizard specifies what operation is performed after 
the project is configured. Choices are:
        -Open the synchronize view (default)
        -Perform an 'update'.
        -Run import/checkout (previous behaviour)
        -Do nothing.

-I have also removed the 'Check Out' toolbar item, as there were too many 
ways of doing a checkout. :-) If you want to check out a project in the 
future, please either use the repositories view, or create a project 
locally and use 'configure project'.

Known bugs:
-If there is no content on the server, you must choose "Run 
import/checkout" from the last page. Failing to do so will appear to work, 
but the next time you perform a commit or use the synchronize view, it 
will fail. Mike is working on a fix for this, see bug 7401.
