[Project-managers] New CoinUtils release

[Ted Ralphs]

Don't forget, this has to be done in sequence, since we have the same 
dependency problem with releases that we had with stable versions. I 
cannot make a new release for my projects until every project that I 
depend on (and that subsequently also depends on CoinUtils) has made a 
new release. Therefore, it would be very helpful if project managers of 
projects that others depend on (Clp, Osi, Cgl, CoinUtils) would announce 
when they have made a new release and what version of BuildTools it 
depends on.

Cheers,

Ted
