Proof-of-Concept preview of ebXML Business Process Worksheets/Forms

Features:
* Pretty prints Business Process Worksheet files, which are not 
standardized by ebXML but an artifact from Open ebXML project. 
<www.openebxml.org>

* Supports one out of 14 defined forms: "Business Process Use Case".

* Supports two languages: English and Swedish.

* The worksheets document and individual forms may be documented.

* Forms may be grouped in  hierarchical "packages".

* Forms may be identified by Form ID and/or Identifier and/or UUID.

* Forms may be version handled

* "Fill-in-the-Blanks" functionality: Placeholders are shown when 
information is missing. Could be  used as empty handouts in seminars or 
in training sessions.

* Could be used as simple BP and ebXML Modeling interchange format since 
a moderatly skilled BP engineer or BP architect may edit the XMLfiles 
directly and import into fullblown UMM/UML modeling tools should be easy.

TODO:
* Graphical layout after Proof-of-Concept phase.
* The rest of the forms
* Coordinate details with UMM
* HTML generation
* Reduce size of generated PDF file.
