Manual is version 4 ready!

[Yngve Svendsen]

We have just reached a minor milestone in GNATS 4 development: The 
documentation rewrite is finished!

The only thing holding up the rewrite of the GNATS manual for version 4 was 
a decision over whether to tidy up the profusion of fields in the standard 
dbconfig file. Now that this is done, we have a manual which is fully 
version 4 complete. Yes, there are bound to be mistakes, omissions and 
version 3-specific stuff that I have missed, but the manual as it is now is 
of what I would call "release-candidate" quality.

Gone from the standard dbconfig:

Quarter, Keywords, Date-Required from release-based GNATS 3
Cases, which was added early in GNATS 4 development for testing purposes

All these field definitions have been put in the new appendix "dbconfig 
recipes", and the "Upgrading" section of the manual tells people who have 
release-based GNATS 3 installations to add the definitions to their 
dbconfig. None of the removed field definitions illustrated any special 
functions or were involved in any automation, so they shouldn't be missed 
too much.
