Log Message:

In source/qt-viewer/exp I'm reworking the gui.  "Refactoring" is the
term I've heard describing this.  The original qt-viewer is still
present and built.  The new gui is called "exp_qt_viewer2" (this will
change).

- Using an object "mission control" as a gui communication pipeline to
better isolate the gui elements from each other.
- Added a html-based help-viewer to which I need to attach gui
help-buttons, and Charles' documentation.
- Reworked the avida thread to make it more responsive to gui control.
For example, the original qt-viewer waits for the current update to
complete before quitting.  In a large population of complex organisms,
this can take fifteen seconds.  The new viewer tries to quit within 200
milliseconds.
