[security-dev] Compilation issues on PicketLink repository

[Anil Saldhana]

Rodney,
   we were doing it until 2 weeks ago when we delayed doing it. But 
frequent timed releases (checkpoints/milestones) is something we have 
agreed on.  We are doing one once the IDM API changes Shane is making 
are agreed on.

Regards,
Anil
