[Building Sakai] Authorization of new tools

[Jon Gorrono]

You can also use the tool registration xml file to register
functions... this is the xml file in the directory named 'tools' in
the web root of the tool:

<registration>
  <function name="user.message.via.sms"/>
.
.
.

</registration>

For obscure (to me) reasons, this method is considered less ideal than
programmatic registration.
