Okay - I will incorporate some of the feedback from others, fix some of the
bugs, and see how it looks.
FYI, this all uses the Confluence SOAP API and is driven by an ant task. It
works great, but fails about 5% of the time I run it. There's about 200 SOAP
requests, and one failure shuts it all down. Maybe we could toss in some
handling for that, because it would be kind of annoying to have to re-run
the whole release task again.
