ecommerce 6.x-4.0-rc9

The biggest change in this release is that there is a new dependency on Chaos Tools which enables better handling of the checkout and cleans up the setup of a new type of checkout much better.

Also doing this now means that PayPal Express is working which is much nicer to use than the basic PayPal. Also using ctools means that we can easily add have modal popups which will be really great in ec_charges and also use the form wizard functionality.

The wizard form functionality was what finally sold me on using ctools as it will mean that I can build a fully user definable check out over multiple pages as the user wants it.

I don't know it it will be in the final version of 4.0 but will come before moving to Drupal 7. Also I hope that this will mean in some part it will be easier to move to Drupal 7.
