big code reorg
Joe Edelman
I moved a lot of files around and changed directory names just now.
This is in response to some of Sebastian's (and Jay's) comments on
exploring the code.
I think this new layout makes things much clearer to the new developer.
Especially if they have a rails background.
It also lays the foundation for extracting our little javascript
framework, which now has a name: "jsappkit". It's named after the
MacOS UI kit, AppKit, because it implements similar mechanisms for event
handling (i.e., what in Mac OS and iPhone are called the responder chain
and app delegate).
* I will update Sebastian's docs to reflect all this soon.
* The big html file is now generated with m4 rather than just with cat,
from the file "app/app.html.m4". See the Makefile.
* what were called "apps" are now called "modes" (ala emacs). the
javascript hasn't been changed yet to reflect this, just the
filenames.
* everything that was under "components" is now under "app".
- what was under palettes is now under "chrome".. these are things
that are onscreen across modes, including palettes, but also the
agentbar at the bottom and the header
- the apps are now under "app/modes"
- misc files are under "app/helpers"
- event handlers are under "app/listeners"
- maplayers are under "app/maplayers"
* i have begun to extract out the underlying javascript webapp
framework, which will be called "jsappkit". this is under
"lib/jsappkit", and is extended to handle maps with "lib/jsmapkit".
* gc_api has jumped from "src/" to "lib/"
* debug mode has been simplified
