Bugfix

Created parset file for child is now copied to other machine if necc.

Made serviceBroker client suitable to connected to serviceBrokers at several
machines.
Extended the SB protocol with re-register events to update a restarted service-
Broker with the port that are already in use.
Banned 'localhost' from the code.
Remove (IN) and (OUT) from the signal names of the framework. They only work
confusing.

Yet another iteration in the long way to a new BBSControl ;-).
Most significant changes:
- Added execute() and getAllSteps() methods to BBSStep classes.
- Tried to restructure SC_Simple.cc (for what it's worth); don't know if I
  broke anything, 'cause I can't test the darn thing. I may have to ditch it
  anyway, sooner or later.

Changed the existing code to compile with the new protocol. Some parts
of the protocol have not been implemented yet in RA

Integration with MACScheduler

- updated test files

First integration steps with MACScheduler

- because the prediffer now takes the meta data straight from the MS, the
  station names no longer match those in the vis.des file. therefore, the
  test files had to be modified. The difference in station names is a
  quirk of makems.cc.

- Updated prediffer such that it no longer needs a vis.des file in the MS.

Made programs compatible with CodeLoggingProcessor.

Added heartbeat task.

Added code to update the PVSS Dynamic String Array 'activeObservations'.

Additions:
-Dialog to host the Step Explorer panel
-Further implemented the BBSStep class

Aips++ is in another directory.

Added unit 'period' to unit-table.

Make prototype files for the online- and offline-controller and gave them
a place in the tree.

Fixed bug in TCPSocket that caused a 'disconnect' when the 'connect' call
returned the error EISCONN (already connected).
This can occure when you call open twice on the same port.

Added support for starting the childcontrollers.

Added some debug lines.

Added definition for the online- and offline controllers.

Moved StationInfo from deployment to APLCommon to avoid too many dependancies
with OTDB.

Look in Makefile.am to test if a test program really has to be built

Implemented CS1 main view

Fixed probem in BBSrun

Fix the clock initialization sequence.
Because the TDS_RESULT register was not cleared before reading back an expected result
the "RSU clear" was done while the i2c sequence towards the clock board had not yet completed.
Now because the TDS_RESULT register is cleared before reading the i2c result the driver
waits for the correct result before proceeding to do an RSU clear.

Modified Software overview panel

Moved infiniteRecursionCheck() to BBSMultiStep class, because that's where it
acutally belongs; it doesn't make sense to do this check on a BBSSingleStep,
does it?

* Moved all code into namespace BBS.
* Added check for infinite recursion in BBSMultiStep definition.

First (tryout) version of component file for ACC.

The ObservationController still used the ObservationController.conf file
during startup in stead of the ObservationController[x]{y} file in
/opt/lofar/share.
Introduced timers for the claim/prepare/start and stop events.
Supporting changes of these times in PVSS.

ChildControl now creates a good parsetfile for the child process it should
start. It contains the parameters of the child and all Observation-related
parameters.
What is left to be done is copying the file to another machine when necessary.

Additions:
-BBS Strategy Step Tree browser now loads steps present in the BBS OTDB tree
-Name field in the Step Explorer to make it possible to specify its Step Identifier

Entered default values for claimPeriod and preparePeriod.

When a task cannot find the parsetfile argv[0].parset during the init-phase
the task no longer aborts, it just gives a debug-message in the logfile.
This is neccesary for the controlleris since the controllers need an observai-
tion-related (and instance-related) parsetfile that has the treeID and the
instanceNr mangled in its name. The controllers theirselves know which
parset file to open and do this in the constructor, so the task will still
abort if the right parset file can not be found.

Added a variant file for dop131

- fixed tBandpass.run to conform to the test environment.

Use directory $prefix (if defined) to locate lofarinit.sh; otherwise
use LOFAR/LCS/Tools/src as fallback.
