generation framework

#will ask questions if .heroscript is not there yet
hero generate -p thepath_is_optional
# to generate without questions
hero generate -p thepath_is_optional -t client
#if installer, default is a client
hero generate -p thepath_is_optional -t installer

#when you want to scan over multiple directories
hero generate -p thepath_is_optional -t installer -s 

there will be a .heroscript in the director you want to generate for, the format is as follows:

//for a server
!!hero_code.generate_installer
    name:'daguserver'
    classname:'DaguServer'
    singleton:1            //there can only be 1 object in the globals, is called 'default'
    templates:1            //are there templates for the installer
    default:1              //can we create a default when the factory is used
    title:''
    supported_platforms:'' //osx, ... (empty means all)
    reset:0                 // regenerate all, dangerous !!!
    startupmanager:1      //managed by a startup manager, default true
    build:1                 //will we also build the component

//or for a client

!!hero_code.generate_client
  name:'mail'
  classname:'MailClient'
  singleton:0            //default is 0
  default:1              //can we create a default when the factory is used
  reset:0                 // regenerate all, dangerous !!!

//or for a play 

!!hero_code.generate_play
  path:'' //if not used then is path where this action is found
  reset:0 //if set will overwrite the play_$actor_$action_.v
  actor:'mail'
  action:''
  model:"""
    
    """             

needs to be put as .heroscript in the directories which we want to generate

templates remarks

in templates:

• ^^ or @@ > gets replaced to @
• ?? > gets replaced to $

this is to make distinction between processing at compile time (pre-compile) or at runtime.
