NEW: The code now supports dynamically plugging your own Pages and block position
identifiers into Moodle without messing with the main libraries at all.
UPDATE: Many functions in blocklib now use pass-by-reference for speed.
UPDATE: Class MoodlePage has been made more presentable and robust.
--------------
Brand-new pagelib.php at your disposal! It slices, it dices, it makes your coffee.
It still doesn't understand women... Read the comments in pagelib.php for a first
impression. Feedback highly encouraged!
Blocks code has undergone significant changes to work with Pages. Flexibility is its
middle name, since I think (without having tried it) that adding e.g. a third
placeholder for "center" blocks in courses, with full support for moving around etc,
will now take about 15 lines of new or edited code. If you are not impressed yet, I
suggest watching a documentary on solar physics. :P
MINOR CHANGES:
--------------
Added instance_allow_config() in the blocks class hierarchy to supplement per-instance
configuration options. You can override it to return true and thus get configuration
amenities without allowing multiple instances.
Minor polishing to comments and documentation (whatever caught my eye was game).
Tightened up some code here and there by utilizing all the new features.
BUGFIXES:
---------
A bug in restore_execute.html caused hidden blocks to not be restored at all.
Microsoft must surely be jealous (do more with less).
Fixed a bug: if somehow the block weights in a page become discontinuous,
moving things up and down will slowly improve the situation until it's back
to normal again. It would just fail without notice before.
Fixed a bug: you could add multiple instances from a block that didn't
allow it if, after adding the first, you just hit Refresh in your browser.
Fixed a typo: missing / inside filepath
Code based on the work of Daryl Hawes for the blog module. Thanks, Daryl!
Please test the hell out of it as it's sure to have issues that need to be
ironed out.
Directory traversal protection added.
Working under Win32, MacOS X and BSD (and rest of Unix, I hope).
Patch file from Petr. Thanks!
Merger from MOODLE_14_STABLE
(linux, macos x, win32, bsd...) based extractors. This
include command-line flavours, stuffit and so on...
Thanks to Petr!!
We have to remember to apply this patch when we update the
pclzip in th future (if their authors don't include it).

Simple and double quotes are out now.
Full paths in unzip are now hidden too.
Please test it. It could have some pending changes yet!
And please, don't forget to move the floating tag in STABLE
when changes are done there!! It causes a lot of problems
when trying to merge later from STABLE to HEAD again.
Merged from MOODLE_14_STABLE.
- Supports both internal and external zip execution.
- Displays the results of the execution.
- All Petr's patched added.
- External zip execution in Win32 supported.
Please TEST, TEST, TEST.
Merged from MOODLE_14_STABLE
- More checks are done
- Non existing files are out
- Both internal an external are supported and protected
- All Petr's patchs applied
- Included support to Win32 external zip.
TODO: Create a paralel unzip_file() function
Use this functions in all the FileManager scripts
THOUGHT: External zip seems to work always adding files to
zip file if it exists, where PclZip resets the file.
Perhaps a rm (or delete) should be included in the
command chain. Analyse it!!

about this file. It's now standard with the single addition of a constructor
to set this->PluginDir, and this is now used for the language file includes.
