[Nitro] testable controllers

Hi George.
This is a plea from the heart to revert the controller (dispatcher
method) behaviour to returning a string rather than using multiple print
statements.
I can test the former simply just by constructing a controller class and
looking at the result of a method call. The latter requires me to
subvert the global $stdout, which is just evil in a testing context.
As a developer, if I want to assemble the string in chunks I can do that
during the method and then return the result at the end, which provides
the same facility as multiple prints would.
Thanks,
Dan
