An Extension for Extra Components and Extra Versions

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

	Hey folks. So, for Red Hat, we (Everything Solved) wrote an extension
that offers the ability to select "extra components" and "extra
versions" that affect a bug. It adds two new custom fields,
cf_extra_versions and cf_extra_components, that contain all the same
values as your Version and Component field do, on each bug.

	In Bugzilla 4.0 and later, when you search the Version and Component
fields, the Extra Version and Extra Component fields will be searched,
too. Essentially, this is a simple way of being able to say that a bug
affects more than one component or more than one version.

	There's a version of the extension that supports Bugzilla 4.2, that you
can check out from bzr, like this:

	bzr co bzr://bzr.mozilla.org/bugzilla/extensions/ExtraValues /trunk
ExtraValues

	Then just copy the ExtraValues directory to the "extensions" directory
of your Bugzilla, and run checksetup.pl.

	We also have a version that will support 3.6 and 4.0. If anybody is
interested in installing the extension on those versions, please let me
know and I'll post the 3.6/4.0 version.
