ANNOUNCE: xfce4-dev-tools 4.7.0 released

[Brian J. Tarricone]

Sorry, I screwed something up: for #3 it's actually
XDT_AUTOGEN_REQUIRED_VERSION.

And regarding #1, it seems there was some confusion: I don't mean that
you should remove stuff from your configure.ac.in files; I mean you
should remove the sed and related commands from your autogen.sh file.
