[html-formfu] Writing Catalyst - FormFu tests

[Carl Franks]

Hi Ascii,

I've fixed HTML-FormFu - it wasn't handling counter names / values
properly in nested repeatables.

It now takes $self->counter_name,
and then searches up the parent hierarchy for a field matching that name,
it then uses that field's nested_name() to retrieve the correct count-value.

I'll test and apply your files once the svn build is unbroken :)

Cheers,
Carl
