[Setup-tool-hackers] 0.3 Release

[Chema Celorio <chema ximian com>]

We are doing a preview release Friday Feb. the 16th.
Althou that is three weeks away, please don't let the time pass by.
If you have any concerns about not meeting the schedule, let me
know about it soon so that we can find a way of making it work.
This basically means that I don't want to be discussing if the
schedule was too tight right before the deadline.

Wed. the 13th we freeze and the 14th->16th will be used for testing
and bug fixing. 

Please note that so far we have been developing tools for one
plataform, for this release the tools should be working across
multiple distributions. The new test code should make it
easier to test & support different distros.
