A first pass at cleaning up the TODO file.  Also, removed the Specialist
class and associated interfaces altogether, since Racks can serve all the
same functions in PEAK.  (Perhaps Rack should be renamed to Specialist, but
that's a matter for future debate.)

'setupModule()' and 'adviseModule()' will now issue warnings for most
questionable code structures and variable redefinitions that might not
work the way you'd expect or intend under module inheritance.

Added tests and documentation for 'adviseModule()' API

Added warnings for detectable module-level modifications of mutables
in modules which are used for inheritances or advice.  Added an API
function, 'configure(object, attr1=val, attr2=val,...)' to safely
set attributes of mutables that might have been defined in a derived
module.  Also, misc. updates to TODO.

Improved key integrity checks in DataModel: Record objects now disallow
modification of key fields unless the old value is None, and cache
collisions between records with supposedly unique keys will result in an
AssertionError.  Also, made the requirement of an LDAPConnection object
more visible in Database.LDAPModel, and made misc. CHANGES/TODO updates.

Fixed the "reference to rebound class within another class" problem with
module inheritance, as reported by (who else?) Ulrich Eck.  :)

Added some notes on ideas for what might go into version 0.3.

Moved TODO.txt out of the docs directory so HappyDoc will make an HTML file
for it in the reference docs.
