[development] Using the Forms API to post information to an external source

[Jamie Holly]

#method specifies the way the form is submitted (either POST or GET). 
You want to change [#action] to the URL you want. Of course doing that 
will remove any validation from the form in FAPI. You will have to do 
all the validation yourself.
