Changeset 462 for trunk/confman.conf.5.in

Message:

Reworked the way in which confman handles opening an EDITOR for
recipe editing and log message capturing.

This implements a reasonable template for recipe files providing better
context clues to the user. See #83.

This also allows recipes to be created non-interactively. After adding
the -R flag to confman recipe create, it became obvious that unless
the svn logs could also be captured with something like -m or -F
(similar to actual svn client behavior), that things wouldn't be totally
non-interactive. A lot of rewriting of log handling has happened, touching
both the install and commit functions in addition to the recipe editor.
See #84.

Due to the large extent of these changes, let's make sure it gets a good
round of testing in several environments before we clear it to be merged
into the 1.9 branch.

The referenced tickets will remain open until the merge has happened.
