This release has updates to the DNN manifest file for DotNetNuke 6 Commented out examples of the Form Pattern in the Settings user control

This release includes a License.Txt and ReleasNotes.txt file in the project and manifest files. We also created a property in the VS Project file for CopyrightYear. The three DotNetNuke interfaces in the Components/FeatureController file are commented out instead of being enabled by default. The Manifest File has been updated for DotNetNuke 6, thus 6.0.0 is now a dependency.
