[Building Sakai] Blackboard 6+ import from archive file

[Charles Hedrick]

I have committed to adding the BB importers to common. We use them at Rutgers. However the intent is just to get the old code working as it used to. I probably won’t have time to add functionality. This is part of an update to change Common Cartridge import to call the Lessons Common Cartridge loader. The old code isn’t being updated to new versions of the spec, and didnt import all types of object anyway.

Mainly just some resources, announcements, and some Samigo tests and question pools. I know that there really wasn't much functionality to begin with, just curious if anyone has worked with the code above?
