[Exist-development] ANN: upgrade of webdav interface in Trunk

[Dannes W. <da...@ex...>]

(from the SVN commit message)

[upgrade] Upgrade of WebDAV interface with "Milton Webdav Server
Library" (http://milton.ettrema.com/index.html). In all, testing shows
that the new implementation is more reliable than the original
implementation.

!!!!!!!
This is a 'early commit-early feedback' commit: please provide me
feedback (via developer mailinglist) of your experiences. Note that I
consider the change 'stable'
!!!!!!!

The following client implementations are confirmed to work:

Windows
-- XP: Webfolders
-- 7:  Functional for non SSL connections, registry setting is
required (will be documented)
-- AnyClient
MacOsX
-- Finder
-- Transmit
Misc
-- OxygenXML

Notes:
- HTTPS is now enabled by default.
- The original interface can be restored by editing the
controller-config.xml file:
 <forward pattern="/webdav/" servlet="WebDAVServlet"/>

Known issues:
- quite a lot of logging, that needs to be muted
- macosx-finder has a problem to create a collection with a space in the name
- Windows7 requires registry changes (not an issue for exist-db)
- missing tests and update of documentation
