Paris Sunday Meteor Coding Event

We meet together today (8 people) to upgrade meteor-vegas.

Tons of improvements, fixes, and so on...

Good luck ;-)
Ok so I'm seeing lots of paris-specific customizations in this PR. Ideally those would have been done in a separate branch and excluded from the PR. However I don't want you guys to have to go back and remove them manually, so I'll go ahead and merge this and manually revert the few items that need it. Thanks for your guys work on this!
