project 6.x-1.0-alpha5

Apologies to all the users of this module -- it's been far too long since we've done an official release! The drupal.org redesign, Git migration, the ability to package both .tar.gz and .zip files, and a number of other significant changes have all happened since alpha4. We're gearing up to do another round of fixes and improvements, so before we start merging all of that into the mainline branch we wanted to ship this release (which has been running quite happily on drupal.org for months).
