git commit -a -m Refs

Refs #4085, refs #4089, REfs #4083. Added tests for workspace groups in binary operations.
The +-*/ operations are all overloaded and tested for matrix, group, and MD types.

Fixes #2091: equals() function for quickly comparing workspaces. == operator cannot be overloaded since it compares the shared pointers rather than the actual contents.

Refs #2277: Divide algorithm has new parameter to perform division by grouped spectra, where workspace indices do not match. e.g. sample / vanadium (where vanadium was averaged per bank). Refs #2023.

Ensure that single valued workspaces can be used in binary operations regardless of whether they are lhs or rhs. There was a small bug with multiply that meant they would fail on the lhs. Also ensured that the Python binary overloads provide better information if they fail. Re #2215

Rename Framework code directory to just that. Also delete Main and VS & Eclipse project file. Re #1881.

Polised up the binary operators in Python so that they are now all controlled from the same place. Also killed another ticket by ensuring that when the binary op algorithms are run that they are run as top-level algorithms so that they log their behaviour. Re #2025 Re #1713

Fix bug whereby the commonBoundaries test could erroneously report true if the summation of a set of bin boundaries produces an infinity. Re #1047.

added several reserve commands for vectors to prevent anticipated extension

Enhanced NormaliseToMonitor so that (a) The monitor spectrum can be provided in a separate workspace if desired and (b) the input workspace is not required to have common bins. In the latter situation the monitor spectrum is rebinned to each data spectrum internally. Re #501.

Added the interface class for tables ITableWorkspace. Table workspaces are created with WorkspaceFactory. re #424

AlgorithmProxy class is added. References to Algorithm are replaced to IAlgorithm in many cases. re #464

Fix bug in makeDistribution which caused crash on Windows. Ensure X vector is accessed through const method. Re #474.

Modify the code to take into account integration if the workspace is a distribution. 
Also changed the code to use stl algorithms and functors. 

Speed-up WorkspaceHelpers::makeDistribution by factor 5. 

Add test for CalculateTransmission. Also replace some dodgy hard-coding in the algorithm itself. Re #375.

re #351. A change to the workspace hierarchy. What used to be Workspace is now called MatrixWorkspace. New Workspace is a base class for MatrixWorkspace and TableWorkspace. TableWorkspace can be stored in AnalysisDataService and passed to algorithms as a property.

Binary Operation no longer creates a new workspace if the output workspace is the same as one of the input ones. Also added compound assignment operators that take advantage of this. Re #318.

Fixed a bug which had unintentionally restricted ConjoinWorkspaces to input workspaces of same size. Re #230.
