[Catalyst] RFC: Sample press release and announcement homepage

[Kiffin Gish]

Seems to me a bit odd that the link
"http://dev.catalystframework.org/wiki/releaseannouncements/58pressrelease/whymoose"

follows the line "These new features also give the Catalyst team a
better base for extending the framework into the future."

Why confuse things with moose when the focus is a new and improved
version of catalyst?

Anyway, please take a look, keep in mind this is something aimed for general release.  It's probably still too technical.  Thoughts, suggestions, abuse welcome.
