Class-DBI-Factory

Changes for version 0.994

handler back to mod_perl 1 (with great relief) after widespread grumbling about premature shift to mod_perl2.
CDF::Handler2 available for experiments with mod_perl2
new() now a synonym for instance() since a call to instance() is now dropped into each data class. this caused a bug in which data classes would get the wrong factory back if the right factory had been created with a call to new().
fancy new Makefile.PL that installs the demo for you if you like, and adjusts the dependencies appropriately.
documentation tidied up at top, rewritten further down.
factory startup methods gathered behind init() to simplify future changes.
- load_class tests whether the class is already loaded, thanks to clever line pinched from Merlyn. Factory now ok if many data classes are declared in one file.
- interface to CDF::Mailer tidied up a bit.
- Back to SQLite3. added DBD::SQLite 1.08 dependency to Makefile because 1.07 generates all those warnings. This might be a nuisance but it means that the demo runs without extra cpanning.
- moved from CVS to SVN
- once mod_perl2 settles down, this is likely to be released as v1.
