Write an "Execute arbitrary PHP-Code" action and condition for worklfow-ng module

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Issue: http://drupal.org/node/179917
Goal: Create a patch, which adds this functionality to workflow-ng. It
should be possible to make use of all available arguments in the PHP Code.
Also add token integration, which is no big deal with workflow-ng's token
helpers. Provide an action that allows executing arbitrary code as well as
a PHP enabled condition (returns TRUE/FALSE).

   1. Read more about workflow-ng: http://drupal.org/node/156282
   2. Read more about how to write actions and conditions:
http://drupal.org/node/156754
   3. Study the code of workflow-ng's token helpers, which you can find at
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/workflow_ng/workflo
w_ng/modules/workflow_ng_token.inc?revision=1.1.2.8&view=markup&pathrev=DRUPAL-5
      This is interesting for you, because the token integration makes use
of all available arguments, like it should be possible for the written php
code.
   4. Solve it like the token integration. Scan the code for all used
arguments and make these arguments available to the PHP code on action
execution time. This is necessary to ensure that only needed arguments get
loaded. Be sure that tokens are replaced before the PHP code is evaluated.
   5. Add the condition and action as provided by the module "workflow-ng"
itself, so add the code in the existing file
modules/workflow_ng_workflow_ng.inc. Use eval() for executing the code.
First start with the action. Once the action is in place, the condition is
done easily.
