[dev] horde framework

[Jan Schneider]

Basically imp sets the authentication info horde wide so that each horde 
application and horde itself can use this information. For example for storing 
prefs.

Currently gollem is the only app that isn't authenticated that way but this 
will be changed as soon as the new authentication stuff Jon mentioned is ready.
