Description

2 components to this:

• writing the pom during the release plugin and doing the scm operations
• using it instead when present at build time, instead of pom.xml

For the second, I'm not sure if this should be automatic or controlled by a -f switch. I think it should be automatic, and the -f switch should be implemented to allow pom.xml to be used when release-pom.xml is there. (As well as other pom files).
