[ale] e-commerce

[James P. Kinney III]

I forgot to add that Interchange can plug in credit card processing as
well. Right now the site I'm running isn't large enough to need it, so
the order is emailed and the card number is encrypted with GPG in the
email. They card number is never stored on the web machine except for a
few seconds in RAM. The receiving machine of the emailed order has the
private key to unlock the card number.
