* New: In CRL/helpers.overlay.CfgCache, add support for context manager,
so we can progressively remove the use of Configuration. One class
to use in all contexts (immedaite setting or storing a set of
Cfg parameters).
* New: In CRL/helpers/overlay.py, CfgCache class to hold a set of
configuration parameters and apply it on demand. It has a
different behavior than Configuration.
* New: In vlsisapd/PyConfiguration, add asDouble() to the Parameter
Python wrapper.
* New: In CRLCore/helpers/overlay, add support for float parameters
in configuratuon.
* 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.
