[Testing] functioning "peekaboo" code available for sugar-jhbuild

[Titus Brown]

Hi all,

I finally updated and lightly polished my 'peekaboo' code, so I'm
making it available for release.  peekaboo is a simple hack for logging
and viewing code tracing information for "live" processes, and I built
it expressly for sugar (although I'm sure it'll be useful to others).

peekaboo is particularly useful for people who aren't familiar with
sugar and want to see what a particular click does; you can do things
like look at what was executed since the last click, etc.  I think
it's a neat way to explore code bases while executing.

peekaboo is described in a bit more detail and demoed here,

	http://ivory.idyll.org/blog/mar-08/peekaboo-and-screencasts.html

and you can download the source code changes to sugar directly here,

	http://iorich.caltech.edu/~t/transfer/public/sugar-peekaboo/

or use git:

	http://iorich.caltech.edu/~t/git/sugar/

Right now, both the sugar shell and sugar-activity are instrumented to
support peekaboo, nothing else.  This means that the basic shell and
most (all?) activities will report their code tracing information to the
peekaboo viewer.

peekaboo itself is available here,

	http://darcs.idyll.org/~t/projects/peekaboo-latest.tar.gz

There's no setup.py; you'll need to install figleaf, and then put
peekaboo in the PYTHONPATH somewhere.

Then, run 'python peek_view.py' in one window, and 'sugar-jhbuild run'
in another.  Now visit http://localhost:8080/ and play around.  Enjoy...

Please let me know if you have any trouble.

cheers,
