[FR-devel] Databus Inspector checked in

[Laurent Julliard]

All,

I have just finished the commit of 2 changes:

- in foxhack.rb and core.rb I have made the MSWIN hack for the problem 
of greedy UI thread optional. THe hack is activated on Windows host 
platform only.

- the second big commit is the very first release of the FreeBASE 
Databus Inspector (DBI). When you run FreeRIDE, start the Databus 
Inspector in the Tools menu. For the moment it allows you to browse the 
bus hierarchy, see slot values and types, look at all the notifications 
 and log messages.

Thos who look at the code will see that the Databus inpsector is a bit 
of a specific plugin in the sense that it does not use the FreeRIDE 
abstraction layer. The reason is because I did want the DBI to interfere 
as little as possible with the Databus itself. In addition abstracting 
the various panes of the DBI did not make much chance in my mind.

I welcome code reviewers because a) this is my first real contribution 
to FR and b) my Ruby programming still needs a lot of polishing.

Equally important is the suggestions as to what new features shoudl come 
next in the DBI.

Enjoy!
