globals.pl is dead! :-D

	Wow, right on the heels of our SendSQL removal, we've completely
removed globals.pl! Finally, CGI.pl and globals.pl are totally gone. All
functions live either inside of the CGI that use them, or inside of a
module.

	This was a huge effort over several years. I'd really like to thank
LpSolit for pushing it through at the end, there, in addition to
everybody who helped. That's pretty much the whole Bugzilla team, and
all of the contributors who submitted patches. :-) I think just about
everybody helped remove a function from globals.pl or CGI.pl at some
point. :-)

	Where do we go from here?

	Well, we still have some important requirements for mod_perl support.
You can see them at:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=87406&hide_resolved=1

	I'll be working on some of them, but if you have any mod_perl
experience, please chime in with your thoughts on the best way to fix
them! I have more experience *theoretically* working with mod_perl (that
is, reading the documentation and fixing our code) than I have
experience working with it.
