Metacello 1.0-beta.27 released

Dale Henrichs
Features:

  - include Metacello-Help from Torsten
  - test case confirming that group name can be used "anywhere that
project/package name can be used"
  - fix Issue 85: http://code.google.com/p/metacello/issues/detail?id=85
"Metacello should load from alternate repository"
  - pick up OB 1.1.4 for Pharo 1.1 compat
  - redundant repository for Gofer too

The main reason for the release is to provide "automatic" switchover
between the redundant Metacello repositories (http://
seaside.gemstone.com/ss/metacello and http://www.squeaksource.com/metacello)
for both bootstrapping Metacello with #ensureMetacello and for loading
or updating Metacello itself.

The class-side #ensureMetacello method for MetacelloConfigTemplate has
been changed to load ConfigurationOfMetacello from either
http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository or
http://seaside.gemstone.com/ss/metacello. You can see the new
#ensureMetacello here:

  http://code.google.com/p/metacello/wiki/EnsureMetacello

Outside of #ensureMetacello, the techniques that I've used to add
redundant repositories for Metacello can be used in other
configurations as well.

I'm writing a http://gemstonesoup.wordpress.com/ blog post with more
details ...
