- Component Improvements:
  - Components now have a Properties.py which advertises the component's name, version, required python version, required op sys (if any), denied op sys (if any), synopsis, required software and integrated software. This information can be used in generating documentation and in deciding how best to load plug-ins.
- Docs: Added new StyleGuidelines.html.
- Created DocSupport/RawToHTML.py to help with a macro-like system in the docs. Not sure if this will last. Consider it an experiement.
- Added bin/ as well as pystats.py and checksrc.py. See bin/_README and check the doc strings in the files for more info.
