Michael Bayne 1eaa058fa8 Some interface deconcretization, and changed config parsing so that we only
complain if you actually provide an unparseable rect or color. If you don't
provide one at all, we'll use the default.

I want people to be able to configure Getdown with just:

ui.name = My Project

and get a no-frills, but usable interface that displays download and
installation progress. Previously, this resulted in a bunch of warnings when
they tried to generate their digest.txt because they failed to supply cryptic
things like "ui.progress = 17, 321, 458, 22". I'd rather that be optional.

I may add some sort of "spurious config" warning, so that if you provide
"ui.progres = 17, 321, 458, 22" and you're wondering why things aren't working,
you don't spend hours pulling your hair out.

What is it?
-----------

Getdown (yes, it's the funky stuff) aims to provide a system for downloading
and installing a collection of files on a user's machine and upgrading those
files as needed. Though just any collection of files would do, Getdown is
mainly intended for the distribution and maintenance of the collection of files
that make up an application.

See the Google Code project for documentation and other information:

Building
--------

Getdown is built with Maven in the standard ways. Invoke the following
commands, for fun and profit:

% mvn compile  # builds the classes
% mvn test     # builds and runs the unit tests
% mvn package  # builds and creates jar file
% mvn install  # builds, jars and installs in your local Maven repository
