phpGolem v0.4

- About
Golem is a web framework that implements in its core some functions
to grant flexibility and fast development.

The main features are:
 * Authentication system: golem implements a functional user and groups
   management system. The needed fields are limited to the essential
   features. Any additional function can be extended easily.
 * Extensions system: in order to increase flexibility golem relies
   on a well structured extensions system. Each extension can use every
   golem core function and also every other extensions class.
   The extensions are structured in classes in order to increase security
   and to make the usage easier for the developers.
 * Template system: the engine output is generated upon a specified
   template, completely separated from the codebase. The engine has been
   designed to be at the same time simple and flexible, that's a tradeoff
   by design.

Golem isn't more than this but at the same time is more than just this.
The extensions designed to work over phpGolem extends these core
functions in every possible direction.

Other features:
 * Free layout: unlike many content managers or site handlers (phpNuke
   anyone?) golem hasn't an imposed site scheme. This maybe makes a bit
   more difficult the first setup, but allows complete freedom to the
   web developer.
 * Multisite: the core and the official extensions of phpGolem are
   designed to make possible the installation of multiple websites on a
   single database.
 * Easy deployment: this is a final target of golem, but even now every
   extension is a matter of a file copy and a admin activation. Having
   the files in the extensions folder, you can enable them with just one
   click. Okay: two if a setup is needed.
