I only need $c so I can get at $c->cache and $c->model('UserStore') at
the beginning.  Also, that code was written before I knew about
ACCEPT_CONTEXT -- Angerwhale was my first foray into Catalyst.  Despite
that, it's proven extremely easy to maintain, extend, and refactor.

For now, consider Angerwhale a "get 'er done" thing, not a Catalyst
best-practices guide.  There's lots of awesome messy code in there.
(See all the default actions, for example.)

Fixes welcome -- mail me if you want a svn account.
