[Arp] Central dispatcher

[Aral Balkan]

Hi Christophe,

I just took a look your Dispatcher class -- it in some ways recreates 
the ControllerTemplate (take a look at ControllerTemplate.as) to act as 
a generic mega-controller of sorts. The major issue I would have with 
this is that if all the forms use the Dispatcher, none of them would be 
able to function without it. i.e., we are violating encapsulation in a 
major way and making each form dependent on the Dispatcher and I cannot 
see what we gain in the process. The dynamic addition of listeners at 
runtime also creates a loose contract that is difficult to maintain.

All the best,
Aral
