Lyntin 4.0 beta 1 released

It's been a long time coming, but I keep getting bogged down in other projects. I'm only releasing a tar.gz file. I wanted to do a Windows installer, but I can't seem to get an installer that builds a desktop shortcut. I don't really want to keep throwing time at it either. So if you're inclined to tackle this issue, let me know.

Things in this release:

Added Python distutils support (will make packaging much much easier).
Removed the Tintin eval mode and the idea of eval modes.
Refactored hooks. Hooks now pass around arguments in dicts rather than tuples--this is a big big change from 3.x.
Split much of Lyntin's internal configuration into the constants module and the config module.
Wrote a completely new configuration system.
Overhauled ui's so that they'll work correctly. This also makes it possible to write ui's in other widget systems.
Split the substitutes module into substitutes and gags.
Added a configuration ini file for setting boot options.
Added tagged actions and also the ability for actions to trigger off of text with/without ansi colors removed.
Fixed a bunch of bugs, some documentation updates (but not many), and additional features here and there (most of which aren't documented yet--sorry guys).

If you discover bugs or have other problems, let me know. I'm on vacation 9/24 through 9/30--so email sent will likely get queued until I read it.

Download here (.tar.gz).

Rock on!

Please keep comments appropriate. I reserve the right to remove anonymous comments, flames, spammy, inappropriate, and other comments that I deem to be worth removing.

Note: New comments get placed in a "draft" status and will NOT show up on the site until I explicitly approve it. Usually that happens within 24 hours, but sometimes I go away and it takes a day or two.

Note 2: There is now a preview button for those of you who want to see a preview! However, it doesn't quite work the way you'd think it should work. I'll look into adjusting it some day.

Note 3: If you can't for some reason post a comment, send me an email: willg at bluesock dot org.
