Subject: [PATCH] So that Authors display and output can be disabled for single
 user sites, allow the AUTHOR setting to be set to an empty string ''. An
 author is needed, but was defaults to OS user, or 'John Doe'. If a blank
 author is provided, it generated authors/.html file, and templates display
 just "by " Updated generators.py and templates to ignore Authors objects
 which have a blank name
