* Renamed treeView.js to folderTreeView.js (more changes on this file forthcoming) -- this will soon be specifically for folders.
* Added itemTreeView.js, with new Scholar.ItemTreeView class -- specifically for items.
* The items list now supports 3 additional columns: rights, date added, and date modified.
* For now, selecting an item loads the "I'm Feeling Lucky" result of a Google search on the item title.

*** Important note: after checking out this code, be sure to delete the compreg.dat and xpti.dat files in your FF profile directory or else the extension will not load. They'll be regenerated when you start FF again, and you won't have to do it again unless we add interfaces or other components. Once I set up the XPI packaging system, this step won't be necessary. ***
- Localization properties are now loaded directly via nsIStringBundleService and available via Scholar.getString(name) -- removed stringbundle from XUL
- Updated status line in bottom right to reflect whether Scholar is loaded correctly or not (temporary, obviously)
ScholarLocalizedStrings moved out of sidebar.js and into Scholar.LocalizedStrings
Rudimentary creator adding/editing. lots of things to work on, because it doesn't work.
Added Scholar.CreatorTypes with methods getTypes() (multi-dim array with 'id' and 'name') and getTypeName(creatorTypeID)
Fixed bug in Scholar.Creators.purge() causing SQL error when deleting a non-existent creator
Fixed incorrect field order for itemCreators INSERT queries in save()
Changed setCreator() to take empty creator names (causing DELETE in itemCreators but without shifting up creators below it (or down and above, depending on your perspective) like removeCreators())
Scholar.ItemTypes.getTypes() -- returns associative array of all itemTypes, with 'id' and 'name'
Scholar.ItemTypes.getTypeName(itemTypeID) -- returns pre-l10n type name (e.g. 'book', 'journalArticle')
Removed getLevel()
Updated Object.setPosition() to handle setting the position of new objects without committing, so it can be used within save(). May or may not actually work--my money's on no.
Added Folder.isEmpty()
No Folder.setPosition() yet, but, then, no editing or saving of folders at all--coming soon
New Scholar.Objects method for treeView: getTreeRows() -- returns mixed array of all Folder and Object objects in the proper order, type testable with instanceof (e.g. if (obj instanceof Scholar.Folder))
Scholar.Objects.get() and getAll() return arrays hashed by objectID again, since they're no longer used directly by treeView
Scholar.Objects.get() now returns the object directly if only one argument and scalar (i.e. one id)
Updated schema and sample data to handle folder ordering
Added include.js for use in non-browser.xul windows to bring in the SCHOLAR_CONFIG and Scholar objects
Adjusted sidebar to use shared object
Added test line (displayable by clicking "Hello, World" before and after sidebar load to demonstrate cross-window access
Added some new core functions:
- Scholar.varDump(), after PHP's var_dump()
- Scholar.flattenArguments(), to flatten mixed array/literal argument lists into a single array
- Scholar.join() -- a version of join() that operates externally, for use on, for example, the arguments object (safer than extending Object)
- Scholar.Hash, a slightly smarter associative array -- not perfect, but brings a proper length property and a few convenience methods (and allows for other additions) -- should probably be limited to places where the length property or other additional additions are needed, since its use is a little non-standard (e.g. you have to remember to do _for (i in arr.items)_ rather than just _for (i in arr)_, to use set(), etc.)
