Smart future mailstone, and version 1.5 release

I removed the mailstones in Launchpad, the main feature in 1.5
is the addition of "recommends" and a lot of various bugfixes.

The addition of the interfaces for Mac OS X and Windows are gone,
and the support for Python 3000 is now not an absolute requirement.


I left the old code in the "py3k" branch, but it hasn't been
updated with the latest changes and they are not compatible.

i.e. it was converted with 2to3 and 2to3c, which means that it
doesn't work with python any longer - but only with python3.


Will let future Smart PM Team decide what the future will be...

Most likely it needs both a new language (Go?), and a new database.
The current language (Python 2.3 - 2.7) and database doesn't scale.

But it should continue working just as before, in the meantime ?
