Added 'timeLeft' function to timers.

When stationname is given iso hostname, the presumed hostname is calculated.

Changed name of boost thread library.

Somehow these got added, while they should not be in the CVS, as they are autosaves.

Made some changes so it actually compiles now. Needs some more work to actually
produce the right results.

- Turns out that ParmDBAIPS::putValue() does a lock / unlock, which causes a sync to disk for _each funklet_. Placed and explicit lock()/unlock() in MeqParmFunklet, which reduces the amount of sync calls to once per parameter instead of once per funklet. Speeds up things dramatically. Would be even better to come up with a safe way to do locking only on top level, i.e. only one sync per writeParms() call.

First working version of get/set Step/Strategy in combination with a command
queue database.

* Added operation() method to BBSSingleStep and its child classes to query the
  BBSSingleStep for the type of operation it will perform.

* Do not use PSQL arrays anymore. They caused "major" headaches when quoting
  array of strings. An array of strings is now stored as a normal string
  delimited by '[' and ']', just as in a ParameterSet.

Even seconds have one sample more, not the odd seconds.

Add send and recv kernel buffer size to constructor of TH_Socket.

Add send and recv buffer to constructor and call initBuffers when the socket
is created.

Add recv and send buffer size to constructor

Change default transport method from station to input section to UDP instead
of raw ethernet. Also rename SOCKET transport method to TCP and introduce UDP
transport method.

Layout changes for ObservationPanel
Quicker Parsetcopy

changes in layout

Added parameters to DelayCompasation program.

If node.type starts with p get params that are not resolved for combolists

Reimplemented moduleName() and keyName() using string::[r]find() methods. This
seems to solve the bug.

Userpanel for Observation configuration added.
Removed OLAP user panel for now, untill new OLAP is finished.
Also removed some (generic) tools from BBS to LofarUtils

Extended with some functions to make lists from strings and string from lists. for BBS and Observation by now, but others will follow

Don't allow the kernel buffers to be set on BlueGene (since it doesn't implement setsockopt())

Add a method to allow applications to set the kernel level buffer size of the socket transport holder. The default buffer size of 2 MB is found to be insufficient in CS1.

Renamed SOCKET transport type to TCP.

first version (not yet working) of DFT imager code.

Logsystem was used before it was initialized.

Added entries that have the phase centers in the middle of the *stations*, not
the middle of the *microstations*.

do not cause compile errors on machines that do not have MPI

remove untested transpose optimisation

Add support for UDP sockets to the inputsection. Also rename the SOCKET input method to TCP and introduce the UDP input method.

Avoid type-punning pointer warning.

Set precision.

Removed duplicate function.

Changed OLAP to new parameterdefinition.

In the 'setclock' and the 'RSUclear' commands a long sequence of commands is
sent to the RSPboards. To deliver CEP the right number of samples in each
second the RCU-enable command is only sent at even seconds. When the sequence
reaches this point on an odd second the sequence is deferred for one second.
Manually given RCU-commands are not delayed since they do not follow this
sequence.

CS1.parset
 Added option 'Observation.SubbandIDs'

CS1_Parset.py
 Added lines for calculate the RefFreqs from array of 'Observation.SubbandIDs'

LOAFR_Parset.py
 Corrected function getInt32Vector()

CS1_Stations.py
 Added centre positions for Beamforming

CS1_Sections.py
 Changed BGLProc bin name in CS1_BGL_Processing

CS1_Run
 Corrected NoRuns

Cleaned up much code, including replacement of RectMatrix by boost::multi_array

Bug fix: count the number of subbands correctly.

Increased buffer size
