KaiRo

• All activities centering around the SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 1 release, which is happening today in sync with Thunderbird 3.0 Beta 3
• Release automation worked beautifully, with the exception of not knowing how to bump version-191.txt, which I wrote a patch for and should check into build/tools rsn (review is there, just need to find time)
• A few smaller issues during running the release from automation were specific to the SeaMonkey VMs, not the release automation tooling itself.
