I added a few things including an introduction/history, what are
sessions/templates, other deployment strategies (standalone
httpserver, mod_scgi + SWUP, mod_wsgi), and setting up a daemon.

A few perhaps controversial points:

if we're going to switch to Mako and ToscaWidgets, we should do it
now.  There's no reason to continue documenting a lame-duck system; it
just makes newbies' applications less forward-compatible.  Myghty in
particular has baggage which doesn't belong in a template system, and
it just confuses newbies to read stuff in the Myghty documentation
that doesn't apply to Pylons.

Whether it's in the main book or in a second book about optional
packages, we should describe Genshi, both because it's a
representative of the XML-parsed templates and because it has features
Myghty/Mako don't that users may need.

Likewise, MochiKit and Pyjamas have features WebHelpers doesn't, which
users may need, so we should mention them somewhere.

I moved the introduction to REST to after the basic Routes
configuration.  More users will want to modify routes than want to
implement REST, and introducing REST before Routes is giving newbies
too much information up front.  Users need to know how to change
routes before they get into the agonizing decisions of designing a
perfect URL map for their application.
