[Seaside] [ANN] Seaside 3.0 (2.9 alpha 4) PORT for Dolphin

[GallegO]

Thanks Julian.
Some changes are needed to core packages. I will post a list on -dev
the next week.
Those are minimal changes and I wont to recognize the job done by the
seaside core team in the standardization across dialects in Seaside
2.9.
Many thanks to the seaside team for developing Seaside!

Best Regards
Jose Sebastian Calvo
