* New: In Analog, new Parameter derived class "StringParameter",
to support strings. Also added to the Python interface.
* New: In Analog::Transistor, added StringParameters for specifying
track positions. They are named "G.t", "S.t", "D.t" and "B.t".
* New: In Oroshi/wip_transistor.py, now read the track positionning
devices parameters.
* New: In Karakaze/AnalogDesign.doDevice(), read an optional 14th
parameter holding the track positions (example in ADC-SAR).
* Change: In CRL/helpers, cumulus/plugins, oroshi & karakaze,
Move towards more Python PEP8 compliance:
* All indentations sets to 4 spaces (in progress).
* In plugins, remove messages about software collections
and RHEL (too many case could wrongly lead to that).
Instead systematically uses "helpers.io.catch()".
* Put in lowercases all modules names. Note that C++ exported
modules *keep* their Capitalized names (to preserve the
identity with the C++ namespace).
* When making import, use full path.
* Rename the run function from "ScriptMain()" to "scriptMain()".
* Cleanup: In CRL/etc, remove obsoleted configuration files,
the one ending in ".conf". Keep those who have not been ported
to the new style yet.
* New: In Hurricane/src/configuration, first trial at replacing the
C preprocessor macros by C++ templates. Applied first to configuration
from VLSISAPD.
This is unfinished business, just a limited demonstrator for now.
It is installed as a separate Python library "Cfg2" which do not
interact with the rest of Coriiolis.
The end goal is to fully remove boost and merge VLSISAPD useful
components directly inside Hurricane.
