Possibly get rid of WebOb, Routes, Beaker?

[Christopher Allan Webber]

Joar has done some things to switch our requests over to werkzeug's request/response objects. It's possible we should finish the job. For part 1 of this ticket:

• Replace all request and response objects with werkzeug requests/response objects
• Remove webob from setup.py
• Update documentation to reflect

If we do this, then maybe we should just get rid of Beaker and Routes.
Possibly,

• Replace Routes with werkzeug's routing
• Replace Beaker's caching with ​http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/docs/contrib/cache/
• Replace sessions with itsdangerous ​http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/51/

I have a branch that completely removes webob ready at 507_remove_webob at repo ​git://gitorious.org/~spaetz/mediagoblin/spaetz-mediagoblin.git

OK, reorganized my branches. This is now 2 branches ready for merging, ignore above branch:

Branch: formerge/507_remove_webob
Branch: formerge/507_remove_routes
Repo ​git://gitorious.org/~spaetz/mediagoblin/spaetz-mediagoblin.git

Routes *are* actually already removed from the code base, but they were still mentioned in the docs. The latter branch removes that.

formerge/507_remove_routes' has been merged by Elrond, so the routes packages is not mentioned anymore.
The remove webob branch is left for 0.3.3. After that has been done, we only need to remove beaker, replacing it with werkzeug's sessions.

Merged the "get rid of webob" branch. The single remaining task is to evaluate the removal of beaker. Filed spinoff issue #580 for this.
