function ctools_wizard_multistep_form

Display a multi-step form.

Aside from the addition of the $form_info which contains an array of information and configuration so the multi-step wizard can do its thing, this function works a lot like drupal_build_form.

Remember that the form builders for this form will receive &$form, &$form_state, NOT just &$form_state and no additional args.

Parameters

$form_info: An array of form info. @todo document the array.

$step: The current form step.

&$form_state: The form state array; this is a reference so the caller can get back whatever information the form(s) involved left for it.
