ActiveMerchant link

While most of the code in this library was extracted from ActiveMerchant, ActiveMerchant itself doesn't use this library anymore. For PCI compliance reasons, we aim to keep the number of dependencies of ActiveMerchant as low as possible. For this reason, many of these classes and modules are mirrored in ActiveMerchant (e.g. ActiveUtils::Connection vs. ActiveMerchant::Connection. When making changes to this library, you may want to mirror those changes in ActiveMerchant.
