TooFPy 0.3.6 released

This is just the long waiting release of TooFPy - nothing new in the last months, I just hadn't done too much testing with it and so delayed the release until it got a bit more usage.

The main changes of this release are:

• WSGI support (TooFpy can function as a WSGI server)
• Reactor Chain pattern to add hooks into the code in a non-destructive and non-disruptive manner (already used for server start/stop, tuple deleting and for request rewriting)
• better authentication stuff (IP-based, HTTP-based, RSA certificate based, user/group definitions)
• refactoring of the protocol stuff so that it is easily extended for new RPC style protocols
• abstract RPC client that can make use of all new features
• better placement of files under Windows (APPDATA is used)
• refactoring of documentation and WSDL generating code to make use of TooFPy factory tools and so give those more testing (they actually work now!)
