and the new "community left menu" on the client side (still controlled by the

the SCM in place of the old feature definitions. Also added some utility
classes (StockMessage, XMLLoader) to aid with loading XML data from the
config files (big help in the RenderConfig constructor and
VeniceEngineImpl.initialize!)
architecture--it's implemented at the global level and for communities,
conferences still use the old hard-coded implementation. The new
StaticSecurityMonitor is configured via XML data, which will be important
when we implement the new Community Services architecture
on XML config files...the implementation should now be much more customizable
and less klunky. Added a provision for implementing "generic" (JSP-driven)
sideboxes. Implemented the sidebox configure button on the front page

in a future implementation of reminder-driven automatic forgotten-password
changing. Fixed some minor funnies in SIG menu generation.

and account signup accept/decline rules; added additional implementation
of dictyionary code for future; minor cleanup of rendering config; and

a set of HashSets, and also started using a new, much smaller dictionary
* general bugfixes and cleanup on other items as needed
