Docfix

== 0.4.0
Mongoid adapter, fallback ORM adapter for those not using machinist or active_record, bugfixes

* 2 major improvements
  * adapter for Mongoid [Sebastian Zuchmanski]
  * replace ActiveRecord 'factory' adapter with Orm adapter.
  
      If you don't have machinist or factory_girl, the Orm factory adapter will fallback to your Orm to create classes.
      
      BC: if you have a line like this:
        Pickle.configure do |config|
          config.adapters = [:active_record]
        end

      You need to replace it with :orm
        Pickle.configure do |config|
          config.adapters = [:orm]
        end

    contents of the column will be used as the pickle ref.  [Stephan Hagemann]

        | user | name        | status |

      Then the following users should exist:
        | name  |
        | Fred  |
        | Ethel |
      And the 1st user should be male
      And the 2nd user should be female
      
  * tables now support pickle refs in cells (see features/pickle/create_from_factory_girl.rb#37)

    Example:
      path_to_pickle('account', 'the enquiry') => account_enquiry_path(<enquiry>)

* 2 minor improvements
  * fail faster in pickle steps when a pickle ref can't be found, by using model! in most places

  * generated pickle steps are less picky about possessives so that pickle mappings accepted in more places
    e.g. when you have
        config.map 'my', 'I', 'myself', :to => 'user: "me"'
      you can now do
        Given I exist
        ...
        Then the project should be one of my assigned projects

    email steps allow you to do things like this:

      And the 2nd email should be delivered to the user: "ethel"
