New description:

 Piwik provides a great API to request raw data. We now have to provide
 such an API to request the generated HTML out of piwik:

  * Provide an API to fetch piwik HTML
 {{{
 hideLogin()
 hideSites()
 hideLoggedUser()
 setLanguage( $lg )

 getBody() // returns <body>XXX</body>
 getHead() // returns <head>XXX</head>
 getJavascriptIncludes()
 getCssIncludes()
 }}}

  * make sure the CSS doesn't change the <body> so it doesnt change the app
 design

  * make sure piwik works when getting the pages in SSL https://
  * the generated URLs could use a prefix or different values in order to
 handle the existing application path.

  For example if the cms is at /dev/cms/ and piwik at /stats/piwik/ the
 piwik generated HTML should prefix all URL with /dev/cms/XYZ or
 /dev/cms/boot?mod=LoadApp&action=piwik

  * Provide an API to log a user in
 {{{
 login(username, password)
 logout()
 isUserConnected(username)
 }}}

  * refs #24 Plugins should have easy access to their own configuration
 file

  * refs #168 make it easy for plugins to install piwik from outside
