Release 1.6.0rc1

  + Split check_arcce into check_arcce_submit, check_arcce_monitor,
    check_arcce_clean and check_arcinfosys into check_arcglue2, check_aris,
    check_egiis and adjust argument parsing.  The old commands are kept for
    backwards compatibility.  This fixes NG-3121, GGUS-92870.

  + Provide a means to extend the substitution of variables in job test
    configurations.  In particular variables can be lifted out as
    command-line options or overriden in another configuration file.  A
    method was also added to select a random host name from a file.  This
    solves NG-3128.

  + Files used for input-staging tests are now automantically uploaded if
    they are missing when the job is submitted.  This is also related to
    NG-3128.

  + An option was added to import Python modules on probe startup.  This
    allows the registration of custom job tests and substitution methods.

  + Some pre-configured tests are distributed in a new configuration file
    /etc/nagios/plugins/arcnagios-dist.ini.  This is feasible now we have a
    means to substitute variables from the command line or override them in
    arcnagios.ini or arcnagios-local.ini.  GGUS-92869.

  + Set time and memory limits in job scripts, either using defaults or the
    new --wall-time-limit and --memory-limit options of check_arcce_submit.
    NG-3134.

  + Various additions and updates to the manual:  How to run Nagios probes
    from the command-line, the new substitution mechanism, the splitting of
    the entry points, the previously undocumented check_arcstatus.

  + Add doc subpackage to Debian packaging (bug #3116).

  - Fix various packaging issues and tidy.

  - Fix staging specification for locally targeted output files.  This
    solves NG-3117.

  - Intercept some exceptions caused by configuration errors, so that they
    are not flagged as bugs.

  - Fix license text and add AUTHORS and NOTICE files.

  - Add glue-schema dependency to packages.  GGUS-91900, mislabed as
    GGUS-91905 in Subversion.

  - Fix issue with yacc path location on EL5.  NG-3110.

  - Fix the type of the -t argument for check_arcinfosys.  GGUS-91904.
