New extension templates in Beta 7

I checked in some new project templates for Komodo and Firefox extensions that will hopefully help people create extensions more easily:

- the 'Configure' macro launches a Xul interface that allows you to edit your extension's meta data ( id, author, version etc )
- the interface is simplified to a single window instead of a Wizard
- index.rdf is used to store the extension's meta data, so if you hand-edit this file your changes will show the next time you launch the Configure macro

The template is still quite simple and doesn't account for things like xpcom services, UDL languages, localization or platform-specific bits. We're working on all of this and should have more as we work through the 4.x series.
