improve tcl idioms

Fix typos

- don't try to load nx when building pkgindex for a binary package (.so or dylib)

- added flag for verbosity

- prepare for providing nx as a tcl module (.tm file). this is just a preparation, since for testing, one cannot set up a path that prefers a local copy over a global installed one (the global tcl-site is preferred over the one specified in e.g. TCL8_5_TM_PATH)

Object-method Reform: - changed interface to object specific commands by requiring an ensemble named "object". The rational behind is essentially to use always the same info command to retrieve object specific methods, no matter whether these are defined on a plain object or an a class object (does not break the "contract" what e.g. "info method" returns).

Now we define methods via:

/cls/ method foo {args} {...body...}

/cls/ object method foo {args} {...body...}

/obj/ object method foo {args} {...body...}

Similarly, aliases, forwards and mixins are defined, e.g.

/cls/ mixin add ...

/cls/ object mixin add ...

/obj/ object mixin add ...

/obj/ require object method ...

The same change propagated as well to the "info" method.

Now we have:

/cls/ info methods ...

/cls/ info object methods ...

/obj/ info object methods ...

Similar, the object parametererization uses

/cls/ create obj -object-mixin M

/cls/ create obj -object-filter f

/metacls/ create cls -mixin M1 -object-mixin M2

/metacls/ create cls -filter f1 -object-filter f2

- as a consequence,

a) "/cls/ class method ...",

"/cls/ class alias ...",

"/cls/ class forward ...",

"/cls/ class filter ...",

"/cls/ class mixin ...",

"/cls/ class info ..."

"/obj/ class method require method ..."

"/obj/ class method require public method ..."

"/obj/ class method require protected method ..."

"/obj/ class method require private method ..."

were dropped

b) "/obj/ method ....",

"/obj/ alias ....",

"/obj/ forward ...."

"/obj/ filter ...."

"/obj/ mixin ...."

"/obj/ info method*"

"/cls/ create obj -mixin M"

"/cls/ create obj -filter f"

"/obj/ method require method ..."

"/obj/ method require public method ..."

"/obj/ method require protected method ..."

"/obj/ method require private method ..."

were dropped

- added package nx::class to allow optionally the "class" notation

"/cls/ class method ..." (and friends, see (a)), and

"/cls/ class info ...

- added package nx::plain-object-method to allow optionally plain method

b) "/obj/ method ...." (and friends, see (b))

- add support to slots to use ensemble methods as setters

  1. … 43 more files in changeset.
- make sure to use "XOTcl 2.0" instead of just XOTcl in "package req" to avoid confusions due to beta state - remove more obsolete and untested files

  1. … 56 more files in changeset.
* Hopefully the last big naming change: Instead of writing "C class-object method foo {} {...}" one can write now "C class method foo {} {...}" to define a class method named "foo" for class "C". This naming change became possible by defining XOTcl's "class" (and "superclass") as object parameter only. To change a class of an object o, one has to use "o configure -class NEWCLASS". The term "object-class" looks alien to language beginners, the term "class" is much more straightforward. Changing classes or superclasses is seldomly used by typicall application programs.

For already existing nx scripts, changing "object-class" into

class should be straightforward.

* various documentation updates (migration guide, nx tutorial)

  1. … 22 more files in changeset.
- rebuild pkgIndex.tcl more eagerly - added error handler to pkg_mkIndex when called via "make libraries-pkgindex" * just show warning and errors when rebuilding pkgIndex files * stop make in case of errors in pkg_mkIndex

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- improved library/lib/make.tcl once more

- make changes for public methods

- changed "cls object method ..." and friends into "cls class-object method ..."

  1. … 18 more files in changeset.
- changed requireNamespace to "require namespace" in lib/make.tcl

- made the "next scripting laguage" a own, loadable tcl package (currently named nx, name is subject of change) - predefined.tcl is now pretty minimal.

- changed more self/current

  1. … 1 more file in changeset.
- changed "require next" to "... nx" - changed "require next::test" to "... nx::test" - changed "require next::doc" to "... nx::doc"
