d200b03d66 Updated the build system so that you must do a cvs checkout of the
'Fonts' module inside the 'Jskad' module.  I.e., you must now have the
tree like so:

Jskad/
   source/
   dist/
   Fonts/
       TibetanMachineWeb/
   .
   .
   .

This is because the THDL tools now optionally (and by default) load
the TibetanMachineWeb fonts automatically.

Updated the build system so that the 'web-start-releases' and
'self-contained-dist' targets JAR up optional JARs to create
double-clickable, self-contained joy.  Even the TMW fonts are in the
JARs now.

Changed the strings describing two Jskad keyboards so that "keyboard"
is no longer in the description.  It's in the label next to the combo
box.

Jskad now saves preferences on exit or when the user selects a menu
item (that is there for debugging mainly) to ~/my_thdl_preferences.txt
on *nix or C:\my_thdl_preferences.txt on Win32.  I don't know the
correct Mac location.

There's a new paradigm for telling org.thdl.util.ThdlOptions that a
user preference has been changed.  If, for example, a combo box is
manipulated so that the ACIP keyboard is selected, then you must call
a certain method in ThdlOptions.

86e384352b Jskad's "Do you want to save your changes before you quit?" dialog is now
optional.

fd1b4dd468 Now breaks the line after the last whitespace, not the first.
I cleaned things up a bit, and I've made logging optional since I don't yet
trust the code fully.

A Wylie underscore at the end of a line is worth looking into further, at the
very least.

f26dd53da3 Changed the build so that Savant and QuillDriver's builds include
Smart*Player.java, which are accessed via reflection.  Cleaned up the
code a bit so that it would compile in so doing.

Changed the 'options.txt' preferences file to reflect the new method
of selecting media players.

08e4e2fc57 Added a flexible mechanism for persistent boolean-, integer-, and
string-valued preferences built atop java.util.Properties.

How it works: the jvm is asked first, and then the user's prefs file, if it exists,
then the system-wide prefs file, and then the built-in preferences.  Finally, for
robustness, a default may be optionally hard-coded in the source.

I made several things configurable, too:

the default Tibetan keyboard
the default font sizes and faces
whether you want developer-only features enabled
Savant's file extension (.savant)
etc.

The only known problems are the following:

The default location for the user's preferences file is windows-specific,
arbitrary, and not in the user documentation.  Likewise for the location of the
system-wide preferences file.  You can change them using 'java -D', though.

There is no "Save preferences" option yet, and closing the program does
not save preferences either.
