The perms() function in an app's App_Application class should return  
the following array format:

array(
     'perm_name' => array(
         'title' => Perm title
         'type' => Perm type
     )
);

perm_name can contain sub-keys - these subkeys are separated by colons (':').

There is no 'tree' entry in the config anymore.  The tree variable  
used in the perms code is automatically generated from the perms()  
response.
