      CHANGES:
      
      - Rewrote the cron system.  Removed cron.module and moved all cron
        related options to settings.module.  Cron was a confusing thing:
        it has been made simpler both in terms of code and configuration.
      
         + You had to rehash your modules to make the cron show up in
           the list.  This is no longer required.
      
         + You couldn't tell what cron "watchdog" or cron "story" were
           up to.  Instead, we now display a clear description message
           for every cron involved.
      
         + The user interface of setting.module - and the admin section
           in general, looks a bit ackward but I couldn't care less and
           don't want to see this improve at the time being.
      
      - Improved setting.module:
         + Now uses variable_set().
         + Added some help and documentaition on how to setup cron.
      
      - Improved ./export.
      
      - Updated CHANGELOG.
      
      
      TODO:
      
      - I'm now going to look into UnConeD's question with regard to
        check_output() and $theme->node(), as well as the filter and
        macro stuff.  I'll probably be fine-tuning setting.module a
        bit more on my way.

      - Uhm.  Rewrote the module system: less code clutter, less run-time
        overhead, and a lot better (simpler) module API.  I had to edit a
        LOT of files to get this refactored but I'm sure it was worth the
        effort.
      
        For module writers / maintainers:
      
        None of the hooks changed, so 95% of the old modules should still
        work.  You can remove some code instead as "$module = array(...)"
        just became obsolete.  Also - and let's thank God for this - the
        global variable "$repository" has been eliminated to avoid modules
        relying on, and poking in drupal's internal data structures.  Take
        a look at include/module.inc to investigate the details/changes.
      
      - Improved design of the content modules "story", "book" and "node"
        (to aid smooth integration of permisions + moderate.module).  I'm
        still working on the permissions but I got side tracked for which
        I "Oops!".

      - fixed a small SQL bug in page.module
      - slightly improved story.module, node.module and book.module
      - made the "default theme" a setting from the setting page
      - polished a bit on the export function: we can now export the
        book or parts thereof through the following url:
      
          1.  http://drop.org/export/book/
                (full book)
          2.  http://drop.org/export/book/nid
                (where nid is the node id to start with)
      
        The export routine demonstrates how it can be done yet the
        output is too basic and can only improve over time.

      Surprise, surprise.  After nothing but code, a large batch of changes:
       - removed droplets
       - added (optional) admin_blocks module
       - added (optional) affiliate module
       - added (optional) about module (only placeholder, under construction)
       - fixed some tiny bugs (e.g. quote bug in search.php)
       - partionally rewrote some modules to be big, bad and better
       - partionally rewrote some modules to be more uniform
       - added GNU GPL license to CVS
      
      Also:
       - installed PHP 4.0.4 on my localhost and now working
         towards PHP 4.0.4 compatibility.
       - I think I'll baptize the engine "drupal".  If you have a
         better idea, try convincing me ASAP.
      
      Todo:
       - more testing (also with PHP 4.0.4)
       - make "project"-module: download, info, blah blah
       - complete documentation
