(loadgen) add -u option that allows one to specify a numeric range which will make load testing with a large database possible - issue #504

on a hard connection error during http forwarding, don't end the client reqeust, instead let the client formulate the error code and message

(loadgen) rename prepare.js to common.js as it holds common processes used by multiple different activities - issue #504

auto-fix PATH for uglifyjs, and exit on errors

* Use [].slice instead of [].splice
* Set a charset in the sample RP.

workaround bug in node 0.4.x - res.getHeader() throws an exception when invoked after a response is set, even though you're not mutating the response.  instead use the _headers map.

find uglifycss using : because node_modules/.bin is prepended to the path we don't need to express paths - this allows you to invoke scripts/compress.sh from any directory

* Adding javascript-extensions to the tests so that PhantomJS can run.
* Adding a test runner for PhantomJS to run the unit tests.

issue #635

* Removing StealJS from the build system, compressing the files manually.
* Removing the stealjs dependency from the unit tests.
* Removing funcunit, dialog/scripts, steal, jsmvc
* Updating the unit tests to use the current version of QUnit.
* Updated a lot of test to asyncTest and removed the stop().

issue #634

close #625

rework the authenticate_user api - now it is read only (will run on webheads) and will call over to dbwriter if and when bcrypt password update is in play.  This shifts the majority of authentication compute cost over to webheads from secure webheads - closes #560

* Remove the state machine from the dialog module.
* Add unit tests for the state machine.
* The state machine has the ability to cancel any stage and go to the previous stage.
* All cancel_* messages are now "cancel_stage" for uniformity.
* Update all unit tests to create then start their modules.

* StealJS is still the script loader.
* Putting OpenAjax.hub into lib.
* Adding a Class/SubClass mechanism.
* Converting all controllers to be Subclassed from Modules.PageModule.
* All Modules are registered first, then created/started on demand.\

implement update_password api - prerequsite for frontend code of issue #114 and for moving the bulk of bcrypt compute work over to webheads which is issue #560

another unit test fix for json database - if database cannot be removed, it's not an error.  it can mean it was never created

for the JSON database 'engine', don't write database at close.  This was causing browserid to stomp changes made be dbwriter during tests where server restart occurs (like bcrypt password update test) - *really* closes issue #557

remove extra newlines from console output when running tests.  easier to read and compare output now.

* Make the WinMock a function so that we can easily reset its state after every test.
* Do the winMock init in the startup function to reduce cruft.
* Close the channel after every test, causing a channel reset.

update mocked network responses in frontend unit tests - add missing request line, include domain_key_creation_time in session_context response

include vepbundle in qunit tests - fixes several broken frontend tests - fixes regressions introduced while working on issue #606

fix IE8 specific includes, moved from /js to /lib in 90ba4e7f closes #615

re-apply "bundle vepbundle along with everything else.  use the power of symlinks.  closes #606" (post-update hooks now npm install first, and compress resources second)
