#4 Login-message on welcome-screen

[Frank van de Ven]

In a large organisation very much users make often use
of Web Financials.
There are several moments (month-closing, year-closing,
planned application-upgrade) that the administrator may
want to inform the community.

This enhancements will make it possible for the admin to
set a extra message in the existing admin-messages
screen, which will be shown on the welcome-screen
when a user logs on.
The message will be saved to the meta_text table in an
extra column.
