Summary: Export project to XML

Initial Comment:
It would be 'nice to have' the ability to export a 
project's information as a single XML document, for 
backup and other uses, such as generating reports.

Unless I've missed something, there is currently no 
easy way to copy a project from one GForge server to 
another, short of exporting the whole database. This 
is relevant if we start using GForge on a small 'grass 
roots' machine and want to progressively more 
official, supported and powerful machines as the 
number of projects goes. One nice way to do that would 
be to be able to export a project into a myproject.xml 
file and import that into another GForge.

Also, myproject.xml would be interesting for lots of 
other uses, such as a 'project status report' 
implemented as an XSLT transformation. At the moment, 
I guess we'd have to build custom reporting in PHP as 
part of GForge itself.

Ideally, XML export would be available over HTTP, 
using SOAP perhaps, so these reports could be dynamic.
