Component body

This module is a D7 version of the Views Unionize/Views Union project, http://drupal.org/sandbox/tsimms/1101912.

Some of the concepts are taken from the original Views Unionize though many are replaced like using a display extender in lieu of a display, the ability to UNION and View's displays, and Views 3/DBTNG integration. It's about a 90% re-write.

There are two show stopper issue with Views and Core that make UNIONs not work properly in Views, both have patches:

Views patch #1787072: Maintain Views Join condition counter in Views object (Part of Views as of Drupal 7.x-3.8, note is now a D8 core issue)

Core patch(s) #1145080: SelectQuery::countQuery() incompatible with UNION queries #1145076: UNION queries don't support ORDER BY clauses.
