Log Message:
Checkin for new Formualtor layout. Much has changed since the initial
checkin:


- Both classes and instances of fields can be used as factory when creating
  views.


- Field: This object is simply a meta-data container for a piece of 
  information; for content objects these are usually its properties.


  Note: It is planned to have a CompositeField for more complex inputs, 
        such as dates.


- FieldViews are virtual objects; they are basically realized Widgets (or 
  Widgets in context)


- Validator: An object that validates data. Note that this object is 
  totally input/protocol-agnostic. Therefore the old concept of some of the
  Zope 2 Formulator validators is not applicable anymore.


- Widget: This is a generic component that is concerned about the 
  presentation of a field in a particular protocol. A difference to the 
  Zope 2 Formulator version is that the widget is also responsible of
  converting possible input-specific representation to a standard one. This
  is not yet fully implemented though.


- Form: A protocol-specific object that is concerned with the overall 
  representation of a form and its action.


- There is a Validator and Field Registry, since Fields and Validators can
  also be used independent of Formulator's goals. Fields should really 
  become the standard way to provide meta-data for properties.


Todo: (too much)


- I need to write a proper metaConfigure.py.


- Make a CompositeField.


- Create XUL Widgets.


- Clean up files.


- Finishing the conversion to the Zope 3 Formulator model.
