Highlights: * new be commands 'email-bugs' and 'import-xml' * standardized <be-xml> format for XML files. * new be-handle-mail interface '[be-bug:xml]' * restrict_file_access security patch * new subprocess handling submodule libbe.subproc * test.py adjusted to use an installed VCS for most tests. * assorted bugfixes Altered interfaces to the following be commands: * comment --xml tag gone, use import-xml. * show --xml xml format updated to <be-xml> format. Also adjusted be-mbox-to-xml and be-xml-to-mbox to handle new <be-xml> format and provide better handling of *.extra_strings.
