Blowtorch". Refactored GameConfig and the EZ game framework, cleaning up some
old cruft from GameConfig (which will break other projects and which I'll fix
ASAP) and moved the XML based configuration system from ToyBox into EZGame.

the event trundles through the queue, especially since the 'test' was
being done immediately.
- Simplified some stuff on the server.
- Fixed up the test, as EZgame arrays will auto-grow.
- Do not set the property immediately on the client! Dangerz! We will add
a new function for that, so that set() behaves like testAndSet() without the
test, and set() behaves like setImmediate() without the immediate.
(And there's no such thing as test and set immediately.)

- Moved property testing, so that it happens before any propertySet events are
dispatched. In the previous version, testing happened while processing the
set event on the server - but since by that time client events have already been
sent, it introduced the possibility of short-lived inconsistencies between client
and server data models.
- Introduced a separate EZ API call for test and set - not only does it perform
the test, but unlike regular set, it does not cache the new value ahead of time.
Instead the new value will have to arrive from the server, at some future point.
- Trimmed PropertySetEvent and other handlers back down - they don't need to
carry any of the test info around, after it's already been performed. Also
cut redundant testing on the clients.

it's atomic in the sense that a single server event will test the variable,
and only set it if the previous value was null (i.e. didn't exist).
This allows for a level of elementary synchronization between the clients.
The new function on EZGameControl is:
_gameCtrl.testAndSet (propertyName, newValue[, index])
I hoped to generalize this to test against arbitrary values, but that's
significantly harder, since properties accept numerous types as values,
and those can have different representations on the client and the server.
So it remains a check against null until we need to generalize it. :)

We'll be using this in game gardens, at least.
Note that the actionscript side currently doesn't compile because of
limitations in building a .swc file, but that'll be fixed soon.
