Hi Everybody,

Just a few things that have happened recently:

   - cli_python now has a module for compiling XML widget templates (XWTs)
     into binary widget templates. This makes it easy to edit widget templates
     in XML, then either use them directly, or precompile them and use the
     compiled temlpates.

   - I've started on a graphical XWT editor, Widget Foundry

   - pgserver has a new "tabpage" widget. This can be used to extremely
     easily add tabbed notebooks to applications. The tab pages automatically
     stick together. Here is a simple XWT example of using the tab page:

<application text="Tabs">
    <tabpage text="Doodads">
        <label font=":30" side="all"> Page 1 </label>
    </tabpage>
    <tabpage text="Widgets" font=":0:bold">
        <label font=":30" side="all"> Page 2 </label>
    </tabpage>
</application>

The tab widget is fully themeable, although so far the only theme to implement
the new theme objects is PicoAqua. In all unmodified themes, the tabs will appear
like buttons in a toolbar. Some screenshots:

A more extensive screenshot, but before I added support to PicoAqua:

   - I've been pondering a small rewrite of pgserver's rendering engine,
     that would both vastly improve rendering efficiency and allow true
     translucency and overlapping. The idea is still a work in progress:
