Description:
    Client Changes:
     o  The "rmake commit" command now will take multiple jobIds. This
        functionality requires conary 1.1.22 to be deployed on all related
        servers before it is fully functional.
     o  The --reuse option now works with strictMode. (RMK-385)
     o  The strictMode configuration setting is now off by
        default. However, a new configuration option, copyInConary,
        has been added, which also is False by default. This means that
        while any changes you've made to your useDirs, macros files, etc,
        will be copied in, your conary files will not. This option also
        controls copying in policy files. (RMK-385)
     o  The resolveTroves configuration option can now include source
        components, if you wish to specify a source component to load.
     o  The buildgroup command now searches the source version of
        the group instead of the binary version, unless you specify
        --binary-search. (RMK-397)
    
    Build Changes:
     o  The rMake chroot user now has its HOME value set to
        /tmp/rmake. (RMK-380)
     o  rMake now supports cross compiling. (RMK-396)
    
    Bug Fixes:
     o  Command line flavor overrides now work with groups. (RMK-382)
     o  The chroot command is more resilient when transmitting large
        amounts of data. (RMK-381)
     o  Fix commit failure with partially built job when the job
        consisted of more than one branch. (RMK-391)
     o  rMake caches build files now only after the chroot is created,
        in order to avoid a long wait before "creating chroot". Also,
        this lets the user know that is what rMake is doing.
     o  You can now build packages that require a package on another
        branch, and specify that branch in the buildRequires list. (RMK-371)
     o  The loadInstalled function now always loads the same thing
        during the initial loading and during building. (RMK-371)
