2012-03-25	Code is all reorganized. We're about ready to release. I should write up a	Mike Buland
	little explenation of the arrangement.
2011-03-30	Ok, string stuff is working much, much better, a load of new unit tests have	Mike Buland
	been added, and I deleted a whole slew of stupid old tests that I don't need.
2011-03-24	The Bu::OptParser no longer tokenizes parameters' values.	Mike Buland

2011-03-17	Tweaks to the variant class make it much cooler, and there's a test/tool	Mike Buland
	called format, it's a proof of concept of a text formatter. I think it's gonna' rock.
2011-01-20	Wow, got the Stream changes propegated, all tests build with string instead of	Mike Buland
	fstring, and updated the copyright notice to extend to 2011
2011-01-20	Bu::FString is now String, and there's a shell script to fix any other programs	Mike Buland
	that were using fstring, I hope.
2010-10-27	Interesting tweak to the variant and optparser classes. In the Variant, it	Mike Buland
	would always fail if a const char * was passed in, it now converts these silently to Bu::FStrings, good to know... Also, the OptParser now uses a Variant for overrides, meaning it doesn't have to do extra parsing, and the amount of code you have to write may be significantly reduced. Pretty sweet, overall. There is one downside. For the moment if you use a non-standard type or object as the target of a parameter it always needs to have a formatter >> operator defined, even if you override and the formatter >> operator is never called. Hopefully we can get around this in the future. Also, it looks like it should be relatively trivial to create conversion functions for the variant, they'll just be global template functions that take two parameters, source type and target type. Should be good times.
2010-05-25	More myriad testing, fixes, arrangement, etc. UnitSuite add-ons, it has some	Mike Buland
	command line parameters now, I would like to also add an automatic paramter that would switch it to a computer-readable output mode for use in a larger testing framework.
2010-05-13	Added license info to the top of the remaining files. I should add a check for	Mike Buland
	that to the build file or something...
2010-01-15	Documented more of MiniCron, and added some cool new help features to OptParser.	Mike Buland

2009-12-18	Ok...sweet, the OptParser now supports everything the old one did, but in much	Mike Buland
	less code, and it does everything with more style and panache, also fewer bugs.
2009-12-18	Wow, cool, Bu::Formatter can read all the basic types now, (int, float, bool,	Mike Buland
	char, etc.) and OptParser totally works. I have one last change to make to it, which is using the return value of signal type options to determine weather or not the option took a parameter at all, especially in the case of short options.
2009-12-18	The OptParser still needs help banners and more helper functions, but otherwise,	Mike Buland
	it's done. It works great, and provides much flexibility and usefulness. It now relies on the input side of the Formatter class, which at the moment supports reading strings...not real useful yet... Next up, adding readers for numbers and such, then it'll be mostly complete. Also, fixed a bug when copying uninitialized signal objects.
2009-12-16	Signals is even safer and works even better. Also, OptParser is nearly done.	Mike Buland
	Now I just have to come up with a way to modify data that you already have, that sure was a nice feature of the old one, even if it was implemented in a silly way.
2009-12-16	The new signal/slots system is in place, and works from 0-5 parameters right	Mike Buland
	now, I'll probably add more later on... I've also started on the replacement for ParamProc, OptParser. It should do everything that ParamProc did, only with less code, and much better.
