[Seaside] #children and Ajax

[Sebastian Sastre]

Hi Sophie,

	I'm not using it the feature right now but I had that problem and
Lukas gave me a clue to solve it.

	The problem is when a component that was replaced with some AJAX
action remains obsolete when called by a backtrack.

	My solution was to make an #obseletes instVar where I collect the
children components that are being obsoleted by this AJAX actions. So
#children will allways answer the actual valid children components but also
the obsoletes ones. The obsoletes are never rendered but in case of a
backtrack they make all work as expected.

	Again, as I said, I was not convinced to use AJAX that way at all
until we have a full ajaxian backtrack solution.

	cheers,

Sebastian Sastre
