[cells-devel] big day

Big day. The pivotal md-value slot is rechristened value, and oh waht a
relief it is. Turns out CL does not have it reserved. Who knew?

Also big: I just took the trouble to carve out a Celtk3D.lpr (make your own
damn ASD!) that does not include the widgets, including esp. the canvas
widget and all its items. Just astonishing how huge those are. Loads must
faster than Celtk.

The idea is that Cello, as it was and is now conceived, makes all its own
widgets. I thought for a while that I would mix Tk widgets with Cello
widgets inside the Togl, but as soon as I started doing that I noticed that
that kinda doubled the effort, and that Cello widgets look vastly better
than OS native widgets. (And I happen to think native look-and-feel is not
so relevant any more and certainly not for the apps I have in mind.)
