Reimplemented anti-csrf measures by raising exceptions rather than returning booleans. Redoing it using exceptions was the easiest way to return proper xmlrpc fault messages to the clients. Also this code should now properly make values set in the form override values from the database. So no lost work under some circumstances if the csrf requirements are not met. Also this code does a better job of cleaning up old csrf tokens.

PostgreSQL/psycopg Backend
==========================

This are notes about PostqreSQL backend based on the psycopg adapter for
Roundup issue tracker.

Prerequisites
=============

To use PostgreSQL as backend for storing roundup data, you should
additionally install:

1. PostgreSQL 8.x or higher - http://www.postgresql.org/

2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL:

     http://initd.org/software/initd/psycopg


Running the PostgreSQL unit tests
=================================

The user that you're running the tests as will need to be able to access
the postgresql database on the local machine and create and drop
databases. See the config values in 'test/db_test_base.py' 
about which database connection, name and user will be used.
