E&S CVS Commit: PEAK - Added a '__main__.*' namespace, which is loaded from the __main__ (startup)

Log Message:
Added a '__main__.*' namespace, which is loaded from the __main__ (startup)
module, and which has automatic fallback to the 'environ.*' namespace for
anything not defined in the __main__ module.  We now load a file specified
by __main__.PEAK_CONFIG, which means that a script can simply specify
PEAK_CONFIG as a global variable, and override the environment.  Combined
with the other changes, this means that you could do something like this:

PEAK_CONFIG = config.fileNearModule('myLocalModule','config.ini')

And that .ini file could then contain something like this:

[Load settings from]
file = config.getProperty('environ.PEAK_CONFIG',default=None)

To also load in the PEAK_CONFIG specified by the environment, if any.

I think this is now flexible enough for anybody, especially since I was
able to make this latest change without editing anything but peak.ini! :)
