MongoDB Development Release 1.1.4 our (1.2.0 release candidate 1)

[Eliot Horowitz]

We have just released MongoDB 1.1.4. This is hopefully the final
version that will be marked stable as 1.2.0 next week.

There have been some changes in what's going in this release, the most
notable of which is concurrency.
There are a lot of important fixes and changes in the 1.1.x cycle, and
we wanted to get those out in a stable package as soon as possible.
Concurrency is currently being worked on in the mater branch, but that
is a very large change, so we didn't want to combine that release with
1.2.0.

The notable changes in 1.1.4 are:
- Durability: auto asynchronous syncing to disk every 60 seconds.
configurable to any value
- Map Reduce: optional parameters to map function, and a optional
scope parameter to set global variable in the javascript scope
- 1st attempt at good rpm management files
- c++ driver threadsafe ObjectId generation
- sharding: dropDatabase cleans up all configuration across all servers
