Having doco for properties is actually a more general problem as any
Maven project requires this come to think of it. People may have
properties for their particular build so maybe we could expand the
project/properties to include optional descriptions and default values
and we could easily generate doco for that. This obviously requires more
work but may be a better solution in the long run and not really hard to
implement.
