[dpvc v. a. <we...@ma...>]

Log Message:
-----------
Added the ability to put class-specific answer-checker defaults into
the Context object.  For example,

    Context("Vector")->{cmpDefaults}{Vector}{promotePoints} = 1;

would make all Vector answer checkers include promotePoints=>1
automatically.  (Note however that if a subclass of Vector is used, it
will not get this defaults, since its class name would be different.
Perhaps something more sophisticated will be needed in the future.)
