Ben's fixing-up of the Preface, for our Jan. 5 deadline.

* book.xml: update copyright, and also say it's a 1.4 book, not 1.3.
(My understanding is that we're upgrading the book to
cover both 1.3 and 1.4 at a minimum, right? Possibly even 1.5
if it gets finished in the next few months?)

* ch-preface.xml

- add two new starting quotes we can choose from.

- rephrase intro to make CVS sound like it "used" to be the
big standard, but no more. :-)

- Do NOT recommend cygwin to windows users.

- Remove mention of CVS from a number of places, so we stop
sounding like we're constantly migrating CVS users.

- Fix some brokenness in the list of chapter descriptions.

- Add some more names to our huge acknowledgement list.

- Update my own 'thank yous'.

- List svnsync as an installed component.

- Lots of cleanup and rephrasings here and there.

Finish my first pass over Chapter 3. If I had to turn this chapter in
to Tatiana today, I'd be comfortable doing so.

Move the peg-revision stuff to the head of the chapter, and start working

My first pass across chapter 4. There's still much to be done, but
I think the basic framework is correct now, at least.

* src/en/book/ch-advanced-topics.xml
Gut the Properties section, reorganizing things to be topically
keyed instead of trying to read like an exhausing property
reference.

* src/en/book/ch-basic-usage.xml
Move the first mention of symbolic links into this chapter.

* src/en/book/ch-reference.xml
* src/en/book/app-svn-for-cvs-users.xml
Update some xref IDs.

Ben's first pass at ch01 for our Jan. 5 deadline.

* ch-preface.xml
(svn.preface.organization): add descriptions of 'new' ch03 and ch07.

* ch-fundamental-concepts.xml: lots of word cleanup, clarification, etc.
De-emphasize CVS comparisons, as per
our prime directive.
