[Seaside] SeasideXUL improvements

[Conrad Taylor]

Hey Pavel, is it necessary to have the version in the name of the component?
 For example, XULComponent2 could be simply called XULComponent.  Thus,
leaving the version tracking to Monitcello.  Now, when the XULComponent
updates to version 2.x or 3, one doesn't have to replace all the instances
of the name within the source.
Just a thought,

-Conrad
