The ticket is the best place to look for the reason why this is so convoluted.

Kill the error messages from LibraryManager that appeared when Mantid started up with the plugins directory pointed at the bin directory. The real trouble was that Poco::Path().isDirectory does not actually examine the disk as to whether something is a directory, Poco::File().isdirectory() does this. Also cleared a compiler warning and a warning message on MantidPlot startup about a QWidget already having a layout. Fixes #3170.

Refs #2755. Something I changed here before made the tests fail in when run in parallel. This should fix them.

Refs #2755. Merge bundle python changes back to trunk. This now includes our own version of Qt and python in the third party directory.

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

Fix a memory leak that occured when reloading the instrument due to the XML document not being released. Also fixed a small issue that Visual Leak Detector picked up in the library loader. Re #1672

Visual Studio 2010 project updates. Added two property files that contain definitions that are shared across the multiple projects defined within the solution. This saves defining, in particular, preprocessor directives in every project.
Also update Geometry code so that the headers can be included without having to find and include other headers first. Re #1389

The PythonFrameworkTest had been failing on the Linux build server with a Poco exception due to libraries trying to be loaded from a non-existent location. The LibraryManager now checks that the path it is trying to load actually exists. Re #464

crusade against the usage of cout and cerr in the framework code

Modify buildserver script to report that tests failed if there is a crash (n.b. this change also means that it will report a failure if a test includes output containing a linefeed). Also fixed FileValidatorTest. Re #279.

Matrix windows can pick up changes in the underlying workspaces such as replacement and deletion. re #233

Refs #120. Added a method to dynamic factory to return the keys and adjusted PythonInterface to account for this.

singletons in the correct order. Fix involves implementing our own
atexit() handler for singletons. Refs #96.

gets created at a random time and causes problems for singletons that
get created as part of other objects static constrcutors.
As a workaround I have moved the Logger instance into the class itself
for singletons.

LibraryManger instance being closed before the dynamically loaded Algorithm
had been destroyed. A better solution would be to implement
Singleton longevity as described in Andrei Alexandrescu's book

Created a UserAlgorithm area for creating a dll that is not part of mantid which can be loaded by libraryManager. Refs #95
