10-Sep-2003 by Matthias Braun
-more random cleanups
-more cleanups so that the Stub directory is empty now
-fixed the bug where the TileEngine didn't correctly draw the last line
-removed the strange PObject class (still some utility classes which formerly
 dealt with PObject are there and are - as before - quiet useless). The long
  story:
  It seemed like PObject was planed as some generic base type which provided a
  uniform interface to functions like comparing 2 objects. But since the only
  function is_equal in PObject wasn't virtual, and since it was never used I
  decided that this stuff is quiet useless.
-removed most of the win32 specific code

9-Sep-2003 by Matthias Braun
-worked around issues with the block allocator code for Particl2D (new operator
 is overloaded, but laste C++ draft doesn't allow to return 0 from such an
 overloaded new.) I added exceptions and lots of try {} catch{} blocks, let's
 hope I didn't miss something.
-eleminated isValidPtr, Util.hpp and GOTTA_HAVE_IT from codewiz.hpp

8-Sep-2003 by Matthias Braun

-Added new keyboard handling code
-fixed lots of code that assumed a key scancode is "only" a char

-replaced all FUBARs with throw Exception, so I could remove terminate.cpp

6-Sep-2003 by Matthias Braun

-removed some getDrive functions, was never used and supporting drives in unix
 is hard :)
-we still need a big commit to replace all \\ in paths with /
-added a fastly hacked configure script (no autoconf yet)
-randomly replaced some \\ in pathnames with /
-More news on my crusade against codewiz.hpp:
  *removed some unused stuff from codewiz.hpp and terminate.cpp
  *added new but alot simpler logging functions to Log.hpp
-replaced all \\ in paths with / (gotta love sed). Yes, I made sure that I only
 change paths (I looked at the list of stuff I change, before applying the sed
 command)
