This is an implementation of a transaction system. We've implemented this
because it has been difficult to get the two open source transaction manglers
(tyrex and jotm) integrated into panther. At some point, when we do manage to
figure it out, the contents package should be deprecated and we'll create
some form of pluggable transaction system, so that different transaction
managers can be plugged into the system (as was initially intended).
