Component body

This module was created specifically to fill some needs for the Local Baha'i Community Website Incubator distribution, but I felt that it might have a wider application so I'm contributing it. It currently has two functions:

1. Optionally alters administrative emails so that they are sent to all users who have administrative roles, instead of to the site email address. Many of our sites have a no-reply address as their site email; with this module, the proper site administrators will be notified of things like new accounts created.

2. Provides an API for on-site and emailed administrative alerts, so that we can notify our administrators when there is new functionality or some task that needs their attention. It functions like an administrative checklist, and we can, in code such as hook_update_N, decide on messages to be sent to all administrators of Incubator websites everywhere (if they leave the module enabled with the default settings).

This module is still in the early phases of development, and although released versions will be used on a number of production websites, there are several ideas for further development, and now is a good time for feature requests and consultation on implementation. So please make use of the issue queue.
