Abstract persistence into Store classes -- FileStore and CouchStore.

[harlantwood]

CouchDB stores data as similarly as possible to the file system pattern, using the path (relative to the application root) as the key, and the file content as the value. Values are base64 encoded in the case of binary data like favicons.

Side note: there is one test that fails on my (OSX) machine -- it was failing prior to cutting my branch as well:

1) testing javascript with mocha should run with no failures
  Failure/Error: failures.should be('0'), trouble
    []
  # ./spec/integration_spec.rb:305:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

Good to chat tonight. I incorporated the changes that came up, plus a few other minor improvements. Tests pass (except for the unrelated ./spec/integration_spec.rb:305), and smoke tests on both file storage and couch seem good. I'd like to get in more testing (probably this weekend), but it's also fine to pull these changes now if you'd like. I'll try to respond quickly if bugs show up.

I'll do some testing on this tomorrow and get it wrapped up by the end of the weekend.

I created two test apps:

• http://filestore.sfw.remixfreeip.org/
  • uses FileStore
  • deployed on EC2 Sinatra Passenger
  • code: 'stores' branch
• http://couchstore.forkthis.net/
  • uses CouchStore
  • deployed on Heroku
  • code: 'stores' branch plus minimal Heroku commit 8d513b4

Both seem to work well in every smoke test I can think of:

• Creating pages
• Dragging and dropping content between pages
• Dragging and dropping a page from one site into the other
• Uploading images
• Creating favicons
• Claiming sites
• "Recent changes" pages

Conclusion: ready to pull.

Fixed a bug that effected the couch version.

Happy to have this code in the project. Thanks so much for your efforts.

Thanks Ward. It's great to be working on a project I believe in so strongly.
