• Added ImportTool as a simple ImportSupport-based tool. (maj)

• Overhauled DateTool to make it more extendable, user-friendly, and add support for standard, localized date-time styles (see DateTool javadoc for more). (ndb)

• Improved VelocityViewServlet error handling (exceptions are logged and error() is now more robust). (ndb)
