Centralized module to control feeds and feed types

As it stands today Drupal has one type of feed; RSS feeds. If any other feeds need to be added they have to duplicate the functionality of what system.module does. You can see this in the atom.module.

The three patches I am submitting do:

Remove the control of feeds from the system module.
Creates a core module "Syndicate" that controls how many nodes are brought into the feed at a time and teaser length.
Creates a submodule; atom. The feeds it creates get their settings from the Syndicate module.

What does this accomplish:
Allow admins to determine what type of feeds they want to serve up. Atom, RSS, both (http://drupal.org/node/202018)
Allow admins the ability not to serve feeds at all (http://drupal.org/node/28337)
Adding different feed types doesn't re-create similar functionality

What have I done so far:
I took the code from the Atom module that deekayen maintains and split it up into a Syndicate module, and an Atom sub module.
Activating the Syndicate module doesn't do much on its own except set node preferences.
Activating the Atom module, which depends on Syndicate, activates the ability to serve Atom feeds with the full capabilities of the original Atom module.
