[Scribia-dev] debug pane/consts

[Ben H. <bh...@al...>]

Ok, have not checked in these changes yet, wanted to run these by yall..

1. I did the enum thing I mentioned earlier. Seems to work great. No 
longer passing string labels between objects, just the label indexes, 
and everyone reads the same labels. Less memory. More efficient.

2. I replaced the debug pane table-based code with a simple 
ostringstream that inserts the text into a textview. To do this i 
needed to use WText (thirdparty powerplant WASTE text view) and 
WTextView. WText Requires about 10 support files. However, the file 
size savings of making all the keys enums, and cutting down over 50k 
of code in the debug pane routine alone puts us about even on file 
size.
... And the debug pane now takes about 2 seconds to draw on my slow 
mac. No more progress bar needed. I think its actually faster than 
all the other views now.

Unless there are any objections i'll check that in. Its about 10 
files from the WText distro, and you will need the WASTE headers to 
build Scribia. (They come with CW6) We already have the WASTE library 
in the project. (its within sioux-waste lib.)

(speaking of which, i tried just using sioux for the debug output, 
but it was not pretty. This is far nicer)
