rick 01db5ded54 Merge branch 'state_machine'
Some big changes:
  * Added some redundant requires so active_support/inflecto can be loaded
    without the rest of ActiveSupport.
  * Disabled callbacks and validations until they are added and tested.
  * Converted specs back to tests, using ActiveSupport::TestCase and the new
    #test helper.
  * As an experiment, I imported Scott Barron's awesome AASM gem into
    ActiveModel.  I added multiple state machine support and vastly improved
    the API (no more aasm_* prefixes).  All the old tests pass.  If this bothers
    people, I have no problems removing this and contributing the changes back to
    AASM.  I just feel like AMo is a better spot for all these 'modelish' features.

Active Model
==============

Totally experimental library that aims to extract common model mixins from
ActiveRecord for use in ActiveResource (and other similar libraries).  
This is in a very rough state (no autotest or spec rake tasks set up yet),
so please excuse the mess.  

Here's what I plan to extract:
  * ActiveModel::Observing 
  * ActiveModel::Callbacks
  * ActiveModel::Validations

	# for ActiveResource params and ActiveRecord options
  * ActiveModel::Scoping

	# to_json, to_xml, etc
  * ActiveModel::Serialization

I'm trying to keep ActiveRecord compatibility where possible, but I'm
annotating the spots where I'm diverging a bit.
