Title: CAS attribute support, performance improvements, doco updates, tidy up

A variety of improvements (attribute release being the most notable), fixes, and improvements. From the change log:

- Support obtaining user attributes (metadata) via CAS 2.0 service
validation (``/serviceValidation``) and parsing the XML response.
User attributes will be placed into the repoze.who identity
using the key ``attributes_name`` after the ticket validation
process. Due to how CAS works, the data must be either saved or cached
by another plugin to allow persistance beyond the request
that triggered the ticket validation. See documentation for more info.

- Support specifying a CAS version. This will control what version of
the CAS protocol (http://www.jasig.org/cas/protocol) to use.
[davidjb]
- Precompile regex statements from configuration to avoid needing
to recompile during every request.
[davidjb]
- Clean up debug process. Debugging is now possible by configuring the
``debug`` plugin keyword.
[davidjb]
- Clean up identification process to remove need for ``bhp`` in query
string.
[davidjb]
- Switch use of paste HTTPFound for webob, following repoze.who.
[davidjb]
- Add Buildout boostrap and configuration for running tests.
[davidjb]
- Documentation clean up for clarity.
[davidjb]
- Code spring cleaning and documentation expansion. Code now requires
Python 2.6 and works towards Python 3 compatibility (not guaranteed
at present).
