Branched main loki tree into new libferrisloki library and added some extensions
in FerrisLoki/Extensions.hh. This tree will be synced with the main loki tree
and is aimed at Linux development.

Loki library adapted for Linux and containing extensions
in Extensions.hh that have not been feed back into the
main Loki tree yet. Note that the main library has been
renamed to libferrisloki and headers installed into
FerrisLoki/ in include so as to highlight that this is
not the standard version.

Changes and extensions done by Ben Martin.

This version of loki also requires libsigc++ to build. 
This could become a build dependent requirement, but
since I have sigc++ on all systems I don't want to spend
the time #ifdefing it at current.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on the mainstream Loki library which has the following README
This should be the loki that was released on sf.net loki-13april2003

Directions:

To use Loki, simply extract the files from the archive, give your compiler access to their path, and include them appropriately in your code via #include.

If you use the small object allocator directly or indirectly (through the Functor class) you must add SmallObj.cpp to your project/makefile.

If you use Singletons with longevity you must add Singleton.cpp to your project/makefile.


Compatibility:

Supported Compilers:
Gcc v2.95.3
Microsoft Visual C++ v7.0
Borland C++ Builder v6.0

Mostly Supported:
CodeWarrior 6.0
Microsoft Visual C++ v6.0 (see readme for port)


CodeWarrior has a problem with the Conversion template (see TypeManip.h) and, though it compiles it, it doesn't provide correct results. Consequently, the DerivedToFront algorithm in Typelist.h does not function. This affects the static dispatcher in Multimethods.h. As a fix, you must order the types (putting the most derived ones in the front) when providing the typelist argument to StaticDispatcher.
