[Alephmodular-devel] Preferences status

[Br'fin <br...@ma...>]

There are two gotchas in the Preferences right now (Three if you count 
the new requirement of installing expat before compiling, but that's a 
necessity.)

The plist parser is simple and maybe not as robust as I want it to be. 
However it works and this could slide.

The templated get_value method on CPreferencesValue with variable 
specific instantiations causes an odd error under GCC 3.1 (The default 
compiler for use with PB 2.0.) It compiles and runs fine under XCode 
(and GCC 3.3.) This concerns me, though I'm not sure just how much I 
should be concerned. If it's tricky for an earlier version of GCC might 
this be tricky for other compiler families? Do we still wish to support 
PB 2.0? I am currently inclined to look into fixing this.
