I wish I knew about this plugin months ago.
By default PDO and CakePHP cast int as string. This prevents me
from using `<input type="number">`, as the modle that the input
is bound to is actually a string, not an int.
Crud by default casts int back to int via ApiTransformationListener
It also has a bunch of other features which makes the life of a
REST / CRUD developer easier.
This loops throgh zm.conf and sets each variable in it
as global in CakePHP via Configure::write. The vars
can then later be read withing CakePHP via Configure::read
