- Patch #6110 by Goba: stop cheating in the Drupal site list.

Patch 5287 by Stefan: multiline help texts should become inside a single $output.

- Many excellent news aggregator improvements by Kjartan:
    + Added drupal_http_request().
    + Replaced rssfeeds with OPML feed subscription list.
    + Added support for pubDate.
    + Added support for conditional gets using ETag and Last-Modified.

Added checks to the drupal directory option to display an error when the site name, email, slogan or statement aren't filled in.

- Removed the hard-coded list of watchdog types.  The list is compiled
  dynamically and can be extended through the watchdog() call.  (Chris
  could use it to move the cron message to their own category.)

 - put text directly into t(), which also means that multipart help text becomes
   a multiline string
 - use modern XHTML tagging, no <b> and <i>
 - put links and URLs out of the translated text where appropriate
 - let referred menu items and form elements get the same name as in the menu /
   form, so only one translation would be needed
 - use %variable instead of $variable when variables need to go into the string
 - add translation to form items previously untranslated
 - use example.com in example URLs

- Updated the calls to menu() to use MENU_HIDE instead of 1

- Committed phase 4 of JonBob's menu system changes.

- Committed phase 3 of JonBob's menu changes.  Adds an API for modules to
  define titles and breadcrumbs for their pages, and updates the theme
  system to display them.

- Patch by JonBob:

  Phase 2 of the menu system integration project. This unifies the interface
  used by admin and non-admin pages, and deprecates the _page hook in favor of
  explicit callbacks from menu(). Breadcrumbs, titles, and help text go away
  as a result of this patch; they will return in the phase 3 patch, printed
  by the theme.

- Committed stage 2 of the theme system improvements!  Patch by CodeMonkeyX.

- Usability improvement: replaced many selection boxes by radio buttons.

    + Small bugfixes (eg. bug in book_export_html() and clean-ups (eg.
      RSS code).

      Moshe's taxonomy extensions, and some documentation udpates.

    + ...

Committing Changes by Moshe Weitzman:
- admin_user_account(), user_edit(), and user_view() no longer have any
  hard code for authentication modules. instead authentication modules
  implement the _user hook.
- fixed a couple 'help' typos.
- linked the 'REGISTER' text in the login block to the register page.
  this page now advertises DA better if site employs DA.
- admins may now edit everything about a user account (was a feature
  request).
- user #1 may now login immediately, in addition to receiving his
  password via email.

Other changes:
- modules and themes are now enabled/disabled in the administrative /
  settings / modules | themes pages. Requires SQL update and things must
  be enabled before your site returns to normal. TODO: enable all
  functionality. (For now just do UPDATE system SET status = 1;)
- removed $themes from conf.php.
- added a $theme->system() function where theme can specify settings.
  All themes in the Drupal CVS have been updated to use this.
- added _system hook to modules. TODO: update modules to use this.
- changed strange use of sprintf to the usual strtr. The disadvantage of
  sprintf is that it requires translations to keep the string order,
  which may not be possible in all languages.
- an invalid/nonexisting theme in a user profile will now fallback to the
  BaseTheme instead of crashing.
