Hierarchical element access methods have been added to GXml and GXmlNode.Using a string in the format "params > param[1] > value > struct" one can in a single method call walk down the hierarchy of an XML document to access an element. The squared brackets allow specifying an element index in case that multiple elements with the same name exist. If squared brackets are omitted, an index of 0 is assumed. If the indicated element does not exist, the method returns a pointer to NULL.

The coding and design conventions (CDC) document was also updated.

Add GChatter argument to print() method. The print() method now takes an argument of type GChatter to control the chattiness of the output in a homogenous manner. Pass NORMAL chatter level in __str__ method. Add chatter argument to print() methods. Use GLog::chatter() method to control the chattiness of the log stream operator. Add chatter() methods and provide member access through const references. Add chatter() methods, provide member access through const references, and declare one liners as inline methods. The chatter() methods control the new m_chatter attribute that is used to control the chattiness of the object's print() methods. name() and version() methods return const references. logFileOpen() method now sets the chattiness from the applications's chatter parameter, and name() and version() methods now return a const reference.

This reduces the warning during the swig call.
-
The class now derives from GContainer and implements all container class interfaces. Nodes are now passed by reference and cloned internally. This gives full and save memory management to the XML classes.
-
The use of the new GUrl class insread of the FILE type allows now for transparent input and output of an XML document in different URL types. So far only the file type URL exists (GUrlFile), but this can now easily be expanded to support piping into a string or direct http transfer. The latter is particularily useful for XML-RPC implementation.
-
An GXmlNode* output typemap has been added to GTemplates.i that provides automatic type conversion for XML nodes. Now, the cast_ methods are obsolete. They therefore have been removed.

I went over all .hpp to make sure that the GBase.hpp file is properly included, and no supoerfluous other includes remain. I also checked that no ostream and GLog friends are no longer available. I went over all .i files to make sure that classes are derived from GBase.
