 // What about this =============================================================
 
 // The configuration module provides a platform for reading configuration files
 // (or string data) containing well-formed xml and mapping that data to program
 // variables.
+//
 // The idea is to provide the ability for an object or application to provide
 // a modular "configuration" object that models a hierarchical collection of
 // "settings" that can be represented easily in code and in xml.

 // The "Threading" module is a basic, cross-platform, multi-threading tool kit.
 // The differences between posix compatible systems and win32 based systems are
 // here are designed to cover all of the basics efficiently while hiding the
 // required under-cover work.
 
-// A lot of this module is coded here in the header with the inline keyword
-// because it is likely that the more basic objects can be efficiently compiled
-// as inline abstractions to native calls. Really basic systems won't need
-// anything beyond what is in this file.
-
-// 20070202.1601 _M Further research has suggested that using a Semaphore in
-// WIN32 environments in place of a CRITICAL_SECTION may provide the best
-// performance and stability on all platforms. Specifically, SMP platforms may
-// race and waste resources with CRITICAL_SECTIONs and in those cases it is
-// recommended that the CRITICAL_SECTIONs may be "throttled" using Semaphores
-// to limit the number of threads that may contend for a critical section. It
-// is also suggested that if the Semaphore has an initialization value of 1
-// the CRITICAL_SECTION is redundant. So this code has been modified to do
-// precisely that!
-//
-// This new version also includes a ProductionGateway object that simplifies
-// the producer/consumer model. The object keeps track of the number of calls
-// to produce() and consume() and ensures that threads will block on consume()
-// until a sufficient number of calls to produce() are made. That is, for every
-// one call to produce(), a call to consume() will be allowed to proceed. The
-// object also allows for the potentially asynchronous nature of these calls.
-
-// 20070530.1751 _M Added top level exception handling in threads along with
-// isRunning() and isBad() methods.
-
-// 20060528.1647 _M All of the basics are complete and tested on both WIN32 and
-// RHEL4 single and multiple processors.

 // The purpose of this module is to abstract timing functions for
 // cross platform C++ development usning GNU compilers in *nix and
 // win32 environments (minGW). Timing resolution is in milliseconds
 // throughout to provide consistency and reasonable expectations.
 
-// 20060404 _M Added Timer::start(msclock startt) for chaining.
-
-// 20060403 _M This "timing" module has been completed and tested on
-// win32 (compiled using CodeBlocks and minGW) and on RHES3 (g++).
-//
-// The bottom line is that this code is perfect for most applications that
-// don't need real-time interaction on the win32 platform. That is, for
-// any application that can accept 15ms or so of "wiggle" in their timing
-// functions. On linux I was able to observe very consistent results with
-// variations measured in 1-2ms.
-//
-// Aynone seeking real-time accuracy on the win32 platform will need to contend
-// with all of the landmines in place against that and will need to write more
-// ellaborate versions of Timer::getLocalRawClock() and Sleeper::doRawSleep()
-// aa appropriate for their application. The existing code should work fine for
-// almost all other applications.
-//
-// This code was written with that in mind to some extent. That is why all of
-// the timing functions are measured in milliseconds rather than microseconds
-// or something smaller. Milliseconds are convenient for polling delays,
-// communications timeouts, measuring database application performance, and
-// other similar tasks. For that purpose - this timing module is just fine :-)
-
-// 20060323 _M Rewrote this module from a combination of previous
-// bits and pieces. This module will provide classes that abstract
-// timing functions for use in GNU projects on *nix and win32 systems.
