Ulaform: HTML form generation with PHP

I think I have the beginnings of a new Horde module here.  :-)

Our webmaster is getting a growing number of requests for HTML forms for
feedback and the like.  The requests come from departments that don't have
CGI script writers, and our webmaster doesn't have time to keep up with
writing these.  We've explored FrontPage (and the server extensions, which
can do form generation), but there are... "issues", and I would rather not
go that route.

So, I put together a quick "proof-of-concept" to demonstrate that we could
do this using PHP.  I based it on Manuel Lemos' forms.php code, which
greatly speeded the development time.  See what you think; I'd love any
feedback.

Needless to say, the finished version will need user authentication,
database abstraction, browser detection, sessions... all the things the
Horde framework provides.
