=======================================
WARNING: DEV IS CURRENTLY VERY UNSTABLE.
This is a mega-checkin of the new Roles system. A lot of changes have
been made in core and modules.
Currently there are a lot of rough edges and known problems. We are
working hard on these .. .the reason for getting this into HEAD at this
stage is enable us to move faster (our branch was diverging from HEAD
too much).
Please keep an eye on http://docs.moodle.org/en/Roles for current status
and information for developers on how to use the new Roles system.
Also, cleaned up the marking code for numerical and short answer questions, partly by making the base-class method more useful.
Rewrote the way the way short answer questions do wildcard matching to be more robust, Unicode safe, and generally not suck.
This is a big change, so I am pleased to report I tested it using my new Selinium test suite. See: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=51161
Even though Postgres 7.4.x is officially supported, several upgrade scripts use syntax that only works in Postgres 8.x. and it's impossible to finish the upgrade.
The attached patch fixes those scripts.
Saludos. I�aki.

get_courses_page() uses get_records_sql() which means that it will actually
break if the first field requested isn't c.id. This in turn means that
the DISTINCT is not needed at all.
So let's go fast again!
IE6 measures a page element and - sometimes - it does this before the
element is drawn, so the dimensions it finds are zero. This update sets
sensible minimum for the width.

* Added $mimetype param (default empty) that can be used if MIME type is already known and doesn't need guessing from filename
