  patch #1024
 - python/Properties.py
   python/ExtendedProperties.py

   Two python examples
  (full analogues for C++ exmples
   options/Property.opt and options/ExtendedProperties.opts)
   which illustrates the usage of simple and extended
    properties through python

   The last couple of lines for both scripts are commented,
   since gaudimodule.iProperty.properties() method
   is broken with reimplementation using PropertyEntry class.

   th ecorrect behavior is easy to turn on,
   one just need to replace the line:

         dct[p.name()] = PropertyEntry(p)

   with the correct line:

          dct[p.name()] = self.__getattr__( p.name() )

   The real problem is that PropertyEntry is
   assumes that property coudl be ONLY of type
   either ATLAS' GaudiHandler or some primitive type.
   PropertyEntry does not support the property types,
   widely used in LHCb.

 - options/DataOnDemandSvc.opts

   1) replace the (old) properties DataOnDemand.Nodes and
   DataOnDemand.Algorithms with new ma-like properties
   DataOnDemand.NodeMap and DataOnDemand.AlgMap
   2) make use of shorter TES paths (omit the leading
    '/Event')

! 2006-11-07 - Hubert Degaudenzi
 - fixed cmt.py to use "os.environ" instead of "os.putenv". This is
   needed since we are using the variable GAUDIEXE inside the
   runexamples.py script (and not in its subprocesses). GAUDIEXE is
   set by GaudiKernel to $GAUDIKERNELROOT/$(tag)/Gaudi.exe.

   memcheck has been chosen.
