[silva-dev] Silva XML import/export machinery

[Luthiger Stoll Benno]

Hello

I eventually got it.

The things that worried me until I understood it was that I have to implement both the old style and the more up-to-date import/export system.

The old style import/export is triggered when the user selects "export to Silva xml (.xml)" and consists of implementing the 'to_xml()' method on the custom content object (for the export) and the xml_import_handler() method for the import.

The newer import/export system is started when the author selects "full media export (.zip)" and consists of implementing the sax handlers and producers.

Thanks Andy and Eric for your feedback
