Fix incorrect license in headers GPL v2 -> GPL v2 "or later".  Update copyrights.

Big copyright and version number update to prepare for 5.3.2 release.

Header/license fix or Version update+minor formatting fix, or both

updated LINUXIA branch to 4.9 sources in order to use it as testbed again

* Revamp of content edit. I think it is starting to get there.....

* "Edit page", "Edit menu", even "edit component" links are inserted when
  you are logged in as admin.

* Complete cleanup of page/template/component parsing code, now perhaps
  someone besides me could understand it. 8-)

* File navigator only now used for pages, not for templates/components,
  retains context.

* Hooks are there for doing an entire edit session then pushing new content all
  at once. Theoreticially, you could create an entire new site, browse it
  and test it without the public seeing it, and then push one button to
  publish it all. I say theoretically because I haven't done it yet, but
  it should be there soon.

* Preview now holds true for browsing catalog.

* Now can create and edit pages that have no template wrapper.

* Closed all Bugzillas relating to it.
   -- New pages not creating properly
   -- Unable to edit in subdirectories
   -- Templates not written properly

* TODO:

	-- Allow alternate DSN for staging database tables.
	-- Document this puppy, finally.
	-- Change templates so that left-side/right-side components interchange,
	   and so that most class=content components can go vertical.
	-- Vet the new [menu][/menu] component so that left-hand side
	   menu can be directory/location sensitive.
	-- Build in the "use the index.html page in the current directory
	   as the template" functionality.

	* Major changes to the content editing scheme. I finally think it
	  is really usable.

	* Requires a CSS/Javascript 1.3 compliant browser. Tested on Mozilla 0.9.8,
	  MSIE 5.51, Opera 6.0tp2. All work pretty well; Mozilla is a bit slow,
	  Opera doesn't have CSS widths down.

	* Page editor has a quasi-visual layout that should be much more
	  intuitive. Support for a "PAGE_PICTURE" file in the templates
	  allows visual links to the editor page.

	* Components, templates, and pages are now all editable. Template
	  and component editors need to be brought up to speed with the
	  page editor, but work fairly well.

	* Publishing scripting not yet done.

	* Added new lib/UI/ContentEditor.pm module which implements
	  this stuff in conjunction with lib/UI/pages/include/*_editor.
	  A bit of a JavaScript dependency nightmare on the generated
	  attribute editors, but I make get this more canned as time
	  goes on.

	* Lets get this on record -- this content editiing WILL NOT UNDER
	  ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EVER WORK ON NETSCAPE 4. Do not ask, though I
	  know the people who monitor this stuff won't.

	* Added new "auto_wizard" which builds a wizard from a file
	  like in the example. I think this is pretty cool, if I do
	  say so myself. It will be the method to provide scripted
	  content addition.

	* More table-editor updates -- added notable option, and
	  all_opts option which allows building the options in
	  Perl and then doing:

	  		[table-editor all-opts=`\%opts`]

	* Look for major updates on the table editor to make it
	  completely templateable.

	* That's all the comments for now -- try it out!
