ABOUT
-----
  This module suite implements a mapping functionality between Salesforce
  objects and Drupal entities. In other words, for each of your supported Drupal
  entities (e.g. node, user, or entities supported by extensions), you can 
  assign Salesforce objects that will be created / updated when the entity is
  saved. For each such assignment, you choose which Drupal and Salesforce fields
  should be mapped to one another.

  This suite also includes an API architecture which allows for additional
  modules to be easily plugged in (e.g. for webforms, contact form submits,
  etc).
  
  For a more detailed description of each component module, see below.


REQUIREMENTS
------------
  1) You need a Salesforce account. Developers can register here:
  http://www.developerforce.com/events/regular/registration.php

  2) You will need to create a remote application/connected app for
  authorization. In Salesforce go to Your Name > Setup > Create > Apps then
  create a new Connected App. Set the callback URL to:
  https://<your site>/salesforce/oauth_callback  (must use SSL)

  Select at least 'Perform requests on your behalf at any time' for OAuth Scope
  as well as the appropriate other scopes for your application.

  Additional information:
  https://help.salesforce.com/help/doc/en/remoteaccess_about.htm

  3) Your site needs to be SSL enabled to authorize the remote application using
  OAUTH.

  OpenSSL support, as per:
