(Almost) GLOBAL feature stapling

Added by:austegard

To staple a feature to any site definition - i.e. globally, use a TemplateName="GLOBAL" setting.

However, do note that if a WebTemplate is created with a property value of AllowGlobalFeatureAssociations=false then the feature will NOT be stapled to the site (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spwebtemplate.allowglobalfeatureassociations.aspx and http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/936908)

OOTB templates that do not allow Global feature stapling include Blank and SSP.
