This avoids 2 loops over the same data. Also, the non-HKL dimension
values don't change with each intersection so only copy them
over once.

Add rigorous tests for it as well.

Replaced in the one remaining place it was used with standard STL
constructs. Not sure why they weren't used in the first place.

which needed for testing python classes and heterogeneous data arrays

Includes basis for creating a simulation workspace, the fitting function itself and the TobyFit
resolution model.

Since VectorHelper::rebin() requires current X vector with
one more entry than the current Y vector, even if the
Workspace2D is a distribution, we need to adjust the current
X vector before calling rebin.  This is a convenience method
that essentially reverses the convertToBinCentre() method, so
it seems to belong in VectorHelper.

Fixes #3351: test for VectorHelper and some refinement of that method to split a comma-delimited string. Refs #3349: BoxController XML serialize/deserialize.

Refs #3157 Sort our System.h. It was becoming a dumping ground. It should only be touched when absolutely necessary as it affects every file in Mantid. Also combined this with Refs #2345 to sort out DLLExport/DLLImport usage. It's done for Kernel, Geometry and API but stuff in the plugins could do with updating as well.

Flatbackground now works for non-distribution data and SANS Display Mask is now clearer re #2612 fixes #2599

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

Adding the SampleEnvironment class plus changes around Geometry for the Monte Carlo work. Some changes in Geometry just clear warnings surrounding unitialized objects in copy constructors for class with virtual base classes. Other changes revolve around materials. Re #1212

Refs #1622: StripVanadiumPeaks algorithm added. Added a couple of VectorHelper functions for finding bin indices and for splitting a string into a vector. Made FindPeaks use those too.

This allows InterpolatingRebin to deal with histograms whose y-values are all the same even when the x-values are invalid. The new VectorHelper function isConstantValue() returns if all the values in a vector are the same. The SANS scripts and GUI now work with InterpolatingRebin. re #1225

Updates to various excitations algorithms and scripts to move towards running across all direct instruments. Re #1236

Extended FlatBackground to approximate the background level of neutrons using mean counts. Increased logging from LoadDetectorInfo refs #1094

Now that the last known use of RebinPreserveValue has been removed in revision [3951], delete the algorithm. Re #438.

The rebinNonDispersive was found to be buggy in the context it was being used in the SANS analysis. In fact, the rebin function does the same job if the data are flagged as a distribution so change to using that instead (and modify the rebin function to work with cumulative rebinning as the rebinHistogram one does). Re #438.
