[Seaside] A countdown in ajax

[Lukas Renggli]

I don't have a computer at hand right now, but there is a Pier
component (as far as I remember called Pier-Counter or Pier-Countdown)
that does more or less that.

The idea is to implement the counter in Javascript and have some extra
validation (so that nobody can cheat) on the server.
