Added calculations: Base.count, Base.average, Base.sum, Base.minimum, Base.maxmium, and the generic Base.calculate. All can be used with :group and :having. Calculations and statitics need no longer require custom SQL. #3958 [Rick Olson]

-      # Count operates using three different approaches. 
-      #
-      # * Count all: By not passing any parameters to count, it will return a count of all the rows for the model.
-      # * Count by conditions or joins: For backwards compatibility, you can pass in +conditions+ and +joins+ as individual parameters.
-      # * Count using options will find the row count matched by the options used.
-      #
-      # The last approach, count using options, accepts an option hash as the only parameter. The options are:
-      #
-      # * <tt>:conditions</tt>: An SQL fragment like "administrator = 1" or [ "user_name = ?", username ]. See conditions in the intro.
-      # * <tt>:joins</tt>: An SQL fragment for additional joins like "LEFT JOIN comments ON comments.post_id = id". (Rarely needed).
-      #   The records will be returned read-only since they will have attributes that do not correspond to the table's columns.
-      # * <tt>:include</tt>: Named associations that should be loaded alongside using LEFT OUTER JOINs. The symbols named refer
-      #   to already defined associations. When using named associations count returns the number DISTINCT items for the model you're counting.
-      #   See eager loading under Associations.
-      #
-      # Examples for counting all:
-      #   Person.count         # returns the total count of all people
-      #
-      # Examples for count by +conditions+ and +joins+ (for backwards compatibility):
-      #   Person.count("age > 26")  # returns the number of people older than 26
-      #   Person.find("age > 26 AND job.salary > 60000", "LEFT JOIN jobs on jobs.person_id = person.id") # returns the total number of rows matching the conditions and joins fetched by SELECT COUNT(*).
-      #
-      # Examples for count with options:
-      #   Person.count(:conditions => "age > 26")
-      #   Person.count(:conditions => "age > 26 AND job.salary > 60000", :include => :job) # because of the named association, it finds the DISTINCT count using LEFT OUTER JOIN.
-      #   Person.count(:conditions => "age > 26 AND job.salary > 60000", :joins => "LEFT JOIN jobs on jobs.person_id = person.id") # finds the number of rows matching the conditions and joins.
