  * Focus on modular architecture using Flask`s blueprint feature.
  * Multi-layered configurability (defaults, multiple file overrides).
  * Plugin system.
  * Internationalization support.
  * Support for multiple authentication systems.

This commit provides working albeit hollow starting point for future web interface development. IT IS NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION USAGE!!!
