1.7.0-beta1 up for testing / signing

All,

Our first prerelease from the 1.7.x branch is now up for testing and
signing: 1.7.0-beta1. The magic revision is r1146221 (but a known bug
in the release scripts doesn't include that rev in the header file).
You can find the tarballs here:
http://people.apache.org/~hwright/svn/1.7.0-beta1/

There aren't any known release-blocking issues, but this is still a
beta release. As you may expect, these prereleases are intended for
intrepid users and testers only. Aside from the aforementioned
revision number issue, the new release scripts appear to be behaving
themselves, though any reports to the contrary would be of great
interest.

I'd like to get a complete set of 3 *nix and 3 Windows signatures for
this release. Barring any catastrophes, this will be the only beta,
and we'll start the RC train in a week or two.

Please send sigs here:

Thanks,
-Hyrum
