Notes
Two new features are added in this release:
Override any config setting with an env-var. For any setting "foo", you can now set the env-var
REZ_FOO_JSON to a JSON-encoded string. This works for any config setting. Note that the existing
REZ_FOO env-var overrides are still in place also; if both are defined, REZ_FOO takes precedence.
This feature means you can now override some of the more complicated settings with env-vars, such as
package_filter.
Track context creation and sourcing via AMQP. Messages are published (on a separate thread) to the
nominated broker/exchange/routing_key. You have control over what parts of the context are published.

The embedded simplejson lib was removed. The native json lib is used instead, and for cases where loads-without-unicoding-everything is needed, utils/json.py now addresses that instead.
