[Building Sakai] Profile2

[Steve Swinsburg]

Thanks Clay.

The next release of Profile2 will be a binary install so people don't  
need to grab the source if they don't want to. This is in line with  
what else has been happening with Common, EduServices etc. Combined  
with the Roster work it will be a comprehensive good drop in  
replacement, and can be updated as new features are added, since its  
already in independent release mode :)

regards,
Steve
