Based on comments and experience received in current and previous
release cycles, the following modifications to metacomm reports have
been made:

1. Library can be marked as unusable (see http://tinyurl.com/jvyc and
http://tinyurl.com/y6rj). The exact reason for not supporting certain
toolsets can be included in the note (see http://tinyurl.com/za1q)

2. The test can be marked as a corner-case (See
   http://tinyurl.com/za1v).

3. The toolsets can be marked as "required". The go first in the list
   of toolsets and are displayed in bold (see
   http://tinyurl.com/jvyc).

Technical improvements:

1. The format of explicit markup file
   (status/explicit-failures-markup) has been changed to reflect the
   markup semantics more closely. Sorry there is no documentation yet,
   but the format is self-explanatory :-).

2. The bugs related to using diferent xslt processors have been
   hopfully fixed - the support for msxsl dropped as it doesn't
   support exslt (www.exslt.org)
