[PATCH] Correct tenses in documentation.

[PATCH] Correct tenses in documentation.

[william pursell]

In several of the text messages, the tense of the verb
is inconsistent.  For example, "Add" vs "Creates".  This
patch to the .txt files makes all of the verbs for
the summaries be present tense.  eg, "Creates" becomes
"Create".

I find this sensible and matches the convention to use
imperative form; I do not think it is "present tense", but in
English they look the same.

Thanks.
