Summary: ooDialog should only need to ::require 1 file

Initial Comment:
The original ooDialog implementation tried to save system resources by breaking up the ooDialog implementation code into 3 separate files.

Which files to require has always been confusing to some users, and the rationale behind breaking the implementation into 3 files is no longer valid.  Prior to ooRexx 4.0.0, each separate file only registered a subset of the external functions ooDialog uses.  With ooRexx 4.0.0 and its improved package loading all the function entry points are registered no matter which of the 3 separate files is required.

It would be easier and more convenient if there were only 1 package file required for any ooDialog program.  One pretty obvious choice for the file name is ooDialog.cls.  Although, ooDialog.frm might also make sense since the ooDialog package is not a single class but rather a framework to support developing GUI Rexx programs on Windows.
