[hobbit] Xymon version 4.2.2 RC1 available

Yeah, I also noticed this afternoon that the manpages and contrib
directories didn't make it into 'svn co' for either trunk for 4.2.2
branches. The demotool directory also didn't make it into the 4.2.2 branch.
There are various other files missing from 'svn co', but I don't have an
easy way of listing them textually. What I don't know is if Henrik did this
for efficiency / speed of checking out svn or what. In any case, I think
it's better to check everything out - if it hasn't changed, it won't get
updated so it's only a one time thing.

Kind regards,

SebA
