 * API - Interapplicaton links BO layer

 * Links have two ends each pointing to an entry, each entry is a double:
 * 	 - app   app-name or directory-name of an egw application, eg. 'infolog'
 * 	 - id    this is the id, eg. an integer or a tupple like '0:INBOX:1234'

 * All entries are optional, thought you only get conected functionality, if you implement them ...
 *
 * The BO-layer implementes some extra features on top of the so-layer:
 * 1) It handles links to not already existing entries. This is used by the eTemplate link-widget, which allows to
 *    setup links even for new / not already existing entries, before they get saved.
 * 	  In that case you have to set the first id to 0 for the link-static function and pass the array returned in that id
 * 	  (not the return-value) after saveing your new entry again to the link static function.
 * 2) Attaching files: they are saved in the vfs and not the link-table (!).
 *    Attached files are stored under $vfs_basedir='/infolog' in the vfs!
 * 3) It manages the link-registry, in which apps can register themselfs by implementing some hooks
 * 4) It notifies apps, who registered for that service, about changes in the links their entries
