[et-mgmt-tools] Cobbler and Koan 0.6.0 released

[Michael DeHaan]

Hi folks,

0.6.0 for both Cobbler and Koan should arrive on the mirrors for 
FC-6/F-7 and EPEL EL-4/EL-5 shortly.
(As I understand it, Cobbler is still in EPEL-4 testing until yum can be 
included in EPEL-4).

This release contains a lot of features that we've talked about on the 
list over the last several months, however 0.5.X
was a testing release, so these features (while many of you have played 
with them) were never pushed out for mass
consumption.  Now they are!   If you were sticking with the stable 
branch, I've copied and pasted the changelogs
below so you can read what is new.

Thanks to everyone who helped with testing, bug reports, and patches.   
You are all very much appreciated.

--Michael
