- implemented comments (in general and as preview on account page & latest comments)

- partially implemented site reputation (required to grant privileges to comments)
- reworked 'home'-page (the news-box is now as configurable as you want)
- removed some ancient compatibility-code for IE67 (srsly, its 2014!)
- dropped associated stylesheets, reviewed the rest
- split some user-restrictions to trigger on insufficient siteRep
- added text-page: Markup-Guide
- implemented new class to handle Markup

- bugfixes [TM]

- also you will need to reapply the db-dumps (you may want do save account*, news,
reports, ..)
