Also improved reporting about the status of the childcontrollers.

Task #3048: ObsClaimer does not write beamlet list in PVSS anymore since this list is different on every station.

For 'TiedArrayBeam' is this value set to 0.
Updated README file to contain a better instruction for making comp-files.

 + ParentControl: better handling of out of band QUIT events.
 + BeamServer: better handling of timer-events during substates
 + StationControl: better handling of QUIT events.
 + ObservationControl:
   * Parameter 'reportType' = Full|Changes for managing reports during heartbeat
   * Parameter heartbeatInterval moved from SAS to config file
   * Nices reporting of child-states.
 + deleteTree: also clear VICkvt table when a tree is deleted.

+ Update to PythonControl to allow clients that can not communicate.
+ Added 'result' field to CONTROL_CONNECT message to pass failures.

Bug 1607: Checkin of merge of branch MAC-20101206-1_0-release-branch (svn-17633 - svn-17649) in trunk after resolving conflicts with ParentControl.cc and ControllerDefines.cc

later when registerTask was called..

Bug 1000: Introduced a TestTask that makes it easier to test the behaviour of a GCFTask. See headerfile for usage.

Moved Protocol numbers to MACIO/Protocodefs.h

Made a ControllerProtMenu that allows you to send CONTROL events to a simple TCPport. Works without the ChildController task.

Bug 1000: Observation will be aborted in a nice way when the process is killed with -6 (-s SIGABRT).

result, all GNU Autotools related files have now also been removed from the
trunk. 

Bug 1448: Fixed remaining MAC sources, so that they also compile with the new package-version structure

Bug 1284: The availability of the receivers is only known at the stations, so this info is moved from
'Observation' to 'StnObservation' in PVSS.
When the scripts in PVSS are updated the code in the ObsClaimer.cc should be removed.

Fixed some small issues.
