You get everything for this first stage. Our first usage will be to 
create a publication that uses Forrest to publish the Lenya docs. They 
will not be tightly integrated, instead, they will communication through 
the http: or cocoon: protocols. Lenya will, at this stage, benefit from 
Forrests output plugins.

We [Forrest] will use this for our own experiments with creating Doco 
and (part of) Site-Builder [1]. When we stop experimenting and start 
working we will need to work work closely with the Lenya folk to make a 
tighter integration and leverage the power of our input plugins as well.
