[nama] Singleton branch passes all tests

Hi all,
Somehow I seem to keep finding and fixing bugs.
All 140+ tests passing is a good sign.
I still need to handle the following before
the branch is releasable.
* Save/restore, including backward compatbility
* GUI issues
However, this part is really only just a renaming of
variables.
With a bit more work, I can start to introduce
a more modern, "singletonish" coding style.
Here are a couple examples of old/new:
::ChainSetup::initialize() $setup->initialize()
::ChainSetup::really_recording() $setup->really_recording()
read_config() $config->read()
This change will probably happen slowly over time, as
part of an ongoing cleanup... especially if I am happy
with the new look of the codebase.
For your interest, the current list of hash variable/singleton
objects is:
$ui # select text/graphical UI
$mode # doodle, preview, mastering, etc.
$file # filenames
$graph # routing graph
$setup # generate chain setup
$config # Nama config variables
$jack # JACK clients and daemon status
$fx # project effects/controllers
$fx_cache # effects registry
$engine # realtime engine operation related
$text # text UI related
$gui # GUI related
$midi # MIDI related
$help # help system
$mastering # mastering related config
$project # current project (currently name only!)
Note that this is in addition to tracks, buses, marks,
fades, edits and other objects.
I think this is quite an improvement over the 250
global variables we had before!!!
One minor question. I have a script that checks for
illegal hash keys.
I'd like to abort the build script with an error if
this script returns any text. Any suggestions?
cheers,
Joel
