SPDeploy update

CodePlex link: http://spdeploy.codeplex.com

I just uploaded a new binary and source package to the CodePlex site, with some structural, config and visual improvements.

First of all, web application extensions are now supported, meaning that web applications you either lookup or create as part of the configuration can be extended to intranet / extranet / custom zones. A custom rolemanager, membershipprovider and ssl usage can be specified through the attributes. See the xsd schema in the Schemas folder for more info on which attribues are available for the WebApplicationExtension node.

Further, the logging now looks a lot better, thanks to clearer language and some more elaborate code behind the output formatting. I've also refurbished a lot of the general processing code, to make it easier to extend for possible project helpers. I've got more changes coming later, but with a pretty limited amount of time on my hands, I can't be specific as for when.

There are still some hidden general behavior settings being tossed about in the background, which aren't obvious unless you turn to the code. I'll document and clear those up in a future (probably the next) release.
