New Matching System in CVS

In the last two weeks, I've been working on making the Apache Director more flexible by adding a new module called Contentment::Match. Essentially, this system adds much more flexibility to the ways the Director can map external URLs to internal ones. Some effort needs to be made yet in making sure the reverse translation occurs properly (when necessary), but for the current demo, this system will work well.

The other major change this major update (or minor rewrite depending on your point of view) is the removal of the Contentment::Context class which I've replaced with a more general module called Class::Hash. This is a module that I've written and placed on CPAN since no similar module exists--at least none that I was able to find. The Context documentation still exists as it was always used to document what the Context should contain, not just the module itself.

I will probably make a release of the new code in CVS once I've written more tests, updated the documentation some more, and made the demo more functional. I may also do a bit of work on Persist as there are a few problems that should be resolved soon.
