#1 Clean up bits of code, Create classes for some things.

[Tom Evans]

Much of the code should be re-written in a much more Object-oriented style.

This would simplify maintenance of the code immensely.
and also make it much easier for interested people to help out by simplifying the entire program.

for some reason unknown to me, I cannot assign this to myself with the bugtracker...

so... jarodtlg is assigned to this.
