This is looking really good.  I've got a couple of minor nits that I'll
want to send Jochen a patch for, probably later today.

My biggest remaining concern is the homepage setup.  When the homepage
is generated from the template, it is badly botched.

Two problems.

First, the eval munges the template in several bad ways.  It is
converting angle brackets to character entities, so a call to <plugin>
in the template appears as &gt;plugin&lt; in the homepage source.  Also,
it is collapsing whitespace and removing newlines.  Is there some way
to prevent this sort of thing on expansion?

Second, it creates links to Username/Calendar and Username/Preferences
and that stuff just does not work on my system.  Did it ever work?

It's been very frustrating for me because it seems like there is so
much half-working code checked into CVS.  I keep running into problems,
and I'm never sure whether it is a bug, or just some code that somebody
never finished implementing.
