Nexista Sessions

Authentication, caching, and sessions are all related, so the need to abstract out session management in Nexista has been a priority for awhile. Today it became a reality. The code is very new so I'm sure I'll find issues with it, but so far I'm quite pleased.There is a hook to use PEAR's HTTP_Session2, as well as a way to use memcached, if the extension is available.I've also added a gate attribute, nosessions, to override the configuration setting. This is nice for semi-static output like dynamic css, and other public data. Like I said there is still a bunch to do, but the basics are there. Some to-dos include: * Auth extension as a default instead of a separate application* Clarify limitations of session controls available from configuration, clearly delineate how sessions affect caching and authentication.
