[MRELEASE-600] command line versions don't work as documented on release:branch

Description

In the documentation of the release plugin it is written that you can specify the versions via command line properties a la
-Dproject.rel.groupId:artifactId=1.2.3 and so on
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/branch.html )

According to MRELEASE-387 this should be working as of maven-release-plugin 2.0
However it is only working with the newly introduced parameters 'developmentVersion' and 'releaseVersion' (which obviously cannot be specified per submodule as I need it).
