Karrigell-2.1.1 released

Karrigell is a simple, lightweigth and full-python web framework, including a web server and an SQL database (gadfly)
The main new feature in this release is the introduction of a new kind of scripts, called "Karrigell services" : Python scripts where the functions can be called by a specific URL. That is, the url foo.ks/bar gets the result of function bar() in the script foo.ks. A small website can be built with just one "ks" script, instead of having several separate files. See the documentation and the examples

One of these examples is "kwiki" : it's like a wiki, you can edit the pages, but instead of the strange markup in a textarea, kwiki uses a wysiwyg text editor, the excellent FCKEditor

I have also introduced a couple of demos using the excellent KirbyBase 100% Python flat-file database (demos wiki_KirbyBase and kwiki_KirbyBase). KirbyBase itself is not (yet) included in this release but can be downloaded at http://www.netpromi.com/kirbybase.html

Other minor features have been added :
- in dbStorage : a new mode 'c' for opening (creates the base if it doesn't exist) ; no information table is created before an object can be inserted
- I have spent some time to make the presentation of the home page, of some demos (especially gadflyAdmin) and of the documentation nicer (well, hopefully)

A couple of bug fixes too :
- a file not found results in a HTTP 404 error
- debug and silent options were not correctly handled
- cookie management was bugged

As usual, comments and bug reports will be welcome !
