Conversion of the ArgoUML projects to Subversion

Originally Planned date: 2006-09-10 (immediately after 0.23.1)
Planned date set by the staff that is actually going to do it: 2006-09-17 through 2006-09-28 depending on the project. For details see issue 195.

There is a big risk that any uncommitted work will be lost or hard to recover after this process so all developers shall make sure everything is committed (at least in a working branch). After the conversion, any checked out CVS copy is useless and should be removed and a new check out using Subversion (SVN) is required.
