Marco Pesenti Gritti 5c6c7ab1d1 The activity registry is now private to the shell.
Changed the activityfactory to take a bundle instead of a bundle_id
so that it doesn't depend on the registry.

"""Activity implementation code for Sugar-based activities
Each activity within the OLPC environment must provide two
dbus services. The first, patterned after the
sugar.activity.activityfactory.ActivityFactory
class is responsible for providing a "create" method which
takes a small dictionary with values corresponding to a
sugar.activity.activityhandle.ActivityHandle
describing an individual instance of the activity.
Each activity so registered is described by a
sugar.activity.bundle.Bundle
instance, which parses a specially formatted activity.info
file (stored in the activity directory's ./activity
subdirectory). The
sugar.activity.bundlebuilder
module provides facilities for the standard setup.py module
which produces and registers bundles from activity source
directories.
Once instantiated by the ActivityFactory's create method,
each activity must provide an introspection API patterned
after the
sugar.activity.activityservice.ActivityService
class. This class allows for querying the ID of the root
window, requesting sharing across the network, and basic
"what type of application are you" queries.
