okay, fixed that. It was an error in HTML/FormFu.pm

I've made it a bit more general, and renamed it to
Catalyst::StashContextMethods.
You can now achieve the same using:

    ---
    plugins:
      - type: 'Catalyst::StashContextMethods'
        stash_key: user_id
        methods: [user, obj, id]

This essentially does:
    $form->stash->{user_id} = $form->stash->{context}->user->obj->id;

I'll add a www-mechanize-catalyst test, next.

okay, I've added a Makefile.PL and also a HTML/FormFu/Catalyst.pm to
provide a version no.
