Item714: Add a Legacy engine, so Contribs that add scripts to bin dir can work

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	Closed	Engine

I was trying to make SearchEngineKinoSearchAddOn to work with trunk, but the kinosearch script always lead to "Internal Server Error", cause it prints nothing.

The problem is that Foswiki::Engine::CGI or Foswiki::Engine::CLI, loaded automatically since kinosearch doesn't set $Foswiki::cfg{Engine}, are not finalized, so there is no output.

I'm working on a Foswki::Engine::Legacy to be loaded automatically and make legacy scripts work.

I'm reopening this cause Legacy engine made configure script display an error at bottom of the page:

Software error:

Can't call method "cookies" on an undefined value at /home/junior/projeto_final/svn/src/foswiki/core/lib/Foswiki/Engine.pm line 343. END failed--call queue aborted.

The problem is that it loads Foswiki.pm, what leads to initialization of Foswiki::Engine::Legacy, but doesn't call Foswiki->new, so there is no Foswiki::Response object.
