#140 Allow to include rss/atom feeds for projects which dose not provide open svn access

There are some projects out in the wild which dosnt provide an free svn
access to monitor them. Instead thy provide an rss or atom feed. It would
be nice if commitmonitor could include them. This allow also project of
other version control systems to be included without programming agains them.

The idea is to use each feed item as commit. Date,Author and Message should
displayed as for an svn commit. The revision could be "-", increased for
each item or an md5 hash of the item id/link.

The show diff option should be disabled but the OpenWebViewer could open
the url of the item when one is present.

I really like this idea, because it would turn CommitMonitor into more of a project
status center.  I use Edgewall's Trac (1), and if RSS feed were supported I could
monitor the Trac timeline using CommitMonitor.  I also have several coding project
wiki's that I monitor for changes.  There are currently in my RSS program, but it
would be really nice to centralize all of this content in one location.

On the other hand, I understand that this may be deviating from the intended purpose
of CommitMonitor, and if it requires a lot of work to implement, it may not be
worthwhile.

I really like CommitMonitor, but since there are more and more projects moving to git
this change will be very useful.

Agreed, RSS would be a natural extension of CommitMonitor. Though our code can be tracked by SVN, design and art updates come by RSS and it would be nice to follow everything from the same tool.
