[Seaside-dev] new *authorName* protocol

Nick,

You recently added authorName support to Seaside-Welcome:

However in doing so you have created a platform-specific version of the 
Seaside-Welcome package. The implementation provided doesn't work in 
Squeak4.1 or GemStone.

If you want to include platform authorName support, I think that we need 
to add 3 more packages:

   Seaside-Pharo-Welcome
   Seaside-Squeak-Welcome
   Seaside-GemStone-Welcome

Each with the platform-specific implementation of:

   seasideIsAuthorNameSet
   seasideSetAuthorName:

It's possibly that a fourth for Pharo1.0 (and possibly a fifth for 
Pharo1.1) might be needed. The protocol for setting/detecting authorname 
has been in flux and has changed with nearly each release of Pharo:)

I'm working in this area right now (I noticed the problem when running 
the tests on Squeak4.1) and can add the packages.

I'll work on a few other things before getting around to this, so if you 
intend to change your approach let me know..
