webinterface updates



Hey folks,
	I just wanted to update you with the recently added features to the beagle 
webinterface. Its kind of ready for first release now.

* Access it at http://localhost:4000/
* Directly search for "foo bar" by visiting 
http://localhost:4000/?search=foo+bar (so, you can create search-plugins, 
bookmarks or link from other places)
* Groups the results into common categories like documents, images, im logs 
etc.
* Shows all properties and uses nice property names (e.g. "Author" instead 
of "fixme:author")
* Shows snippets (on demand, to reduce load on machine)
* Shows full text for emails, right in the browser itself. (On demand.)
* For all the displayed properties, when hovering on them a clickable link is 
displayed which can be used to search for that property name and value.
* Shows beagle-status and presents option to shutdown beagle.
* Link to help (local link)
* By adding some user_pref (explained in the 'Help' link), the search results 
are clickable. The results will be handled by the browser.
* Web2.0 webapp :) - so usable in browsers that are web2.0 friendly (konqueror 
does not have xslt support :-/)
* Practically no load on beagled, the entire UI is done in the browser and 
data obtained from beagled by mimicking BeagleClient API messages
(!) Quick way to find the answer to the life, the universe and everything :)

Hope you like the web interface useful. Suggestions welcome.
