Log Message:
Further simplified the naming SPI and factory registry, by switching from
a utility to a property to specify the InitialContextFactory.  The speed
of factory lookups should be about the same, but now there's no need to
have a special provider thunked in at the configuration root.  I have now
removed the "so many levels of indirection ... it can make your head spin"
comment from peak.naming.spi's docstring.  :)

About the only thing I still need to figure out how to get rid of is the
basic factory registry...  But I think that would best wait until I've
standardized how the default GlobalConfig and LocalConfig objects will call
out to other packages for initialization.  I wonder if maybe there
shouldn't be some sort of "_pkgConfig.py" module present in PEAK
subpackages that could get used for this?  Perhaps it would be better to
wait until we have some kind of config file format and tackle it then.
