phpslash-0.6-rc4 (Green Chile)

This is phpslash-0.6-rc4, a public beta of phpslash-0.6 .  This release is
the last in the rc series for phpslash.  rc3 was intended as the final
candidate but a few more changes have been added that have warranted
another rc release.  The code encompassed here will become 0.6-FINAL
provided that no bugs are been found.  

This release is intended for anyone interested in phpslash.  This code
should be stable enough for use in light to medium load production
environment. (phpslash has not been tested under heavy load in a
production environment, if you'd like to test, please share your
experinces with the phpslash-users list.)

Special note goes out to the folks using 0.5x series code. Please upgrade
to 0.6 now!  There will be no future upgrade paths from 0.5 after the
0.6-FINAL release.  Those currently working on upgrading will find some
extra work done to the upgrade script to account for variables, but please
read the UPGRADE file and ask questions on the phpSlash-users list if you 
encounter difficulty.

Summary of changes in rc4:
- 99% of the presentation logic is inside the templates.  The variables
  that have control over font colors, bgcolors, etc..  have been removed.  
  There are only 14 variables and they are listed at the end of the
  slash-all.sql file. 
- Works better with PHP3. 
- Formatting fixes for the "printer friendly" and "email a friend"
  version of a story.
- The calendar is now templified.
- The usual bugfixes
