-Did a review of all lock statements in use, removing unused ones and inserting those requiring lock statements. The most-affected classes are those of Task and of Logger. These two classes are now thread-safe.
-When a task is canceled we no longer throw a FatalException?, instead an OperationCanceledException? is thrown

Create a new task type - tasks which are run manually. This differs from tasks run immediately in that tasks run immediately has the connotation of being a one-time task; task run manually can be run multiple times. At the same time, tasks which are run immediately will be affected by the automatic deletion; tasks run manually will not.

-Sent the CommandLine? class for a slight rewrite - the properties are now automatic properties, and the command line is no longer passed to the constructor as that would result in a virtual call in the base class constructor; instead a Parse function is used.
-Instead of mapping actions to handlers, use the Types instead
-Convert the CommandLine? class to be a Singleton-like class, where the CommandLine?.Get function will return a CommandLine? object representing the action requested
-Instead of letting the user specify files without a --, - or , we now need the user to specify --file=

trunk/eraser6/Eraser.Manager/DirectExecutor.cs
trunk/eraser6/Eraser.Util/StreamInfo.cs

-More error-proof cluster tip erasure. This is because of how we now cache a reference to the opened handle so when the StreamInfo? class needs to set file times it can use the cached exclusive handle.
-Do not let the OnProgressChanged? event be called with an empty item name

-Relabelled tab orders

trunk/eraser6/Eraser.Manager/DirectExecutor.cs

-When a user does a folder erasure, delete all empty subfolders of the target if they are empty after the erase regardless of whether the folder should be deleted when empty
