Okay, I don't have much time, but I just found Kohana by searching for "php small framework"
ON the download page, I can choose the modules that are included. I chose Auth (user authorization), Forge (form generation), and HTML Purifier (standards compliant blah blah blah), I chose English as the only language; the rest are also Latin based.
Downloaded v2.1.1, 577k

Okay; default page is simple and easy to find:
This is the default Kohana index page. You can edit application/controllers/welcome.php now.
This smells like the right amount of support for me.

Hmm. Well, maybe not. I don't see where to go from here.
I can see this is in fact based on Codeigniter, as claimed on the Kohona webpage.
