Masterview devel - Jul 2006 - Revised and simplified directive base

Deb,

After looking further at a DSL or simplification of our directive api,
I realized that I could make things pretty easy with a couple key
methods. So the resultant code would look something like this

    def etag(dcs)
      arg :obj, :quote => true
      arg :method, :quote => true
      arg :options, :merge => [:common_html, :size, :maxlength]
      erb_content ''text_field'', :obj, :method, :options
    end


I have most of the details and necessary code for this, just working
through a few more minor issues and how we can cleanup.

This should really simply most of our directives to a handful of lines
of code which feels like a DSL.

I still have the other features I mentioned before as well. I will
provide some more complete examples soon.

This is feeling pretty good and it came together nicely. I think it
really makes things pretty easy. Much of the complexity is all hidden
from the user and unlike the previous api, it''s much harder to mess up
:-)
