Last couple of days

I've been remiss in posting my EOD's for the last couple of days, so here is a short summary.

After discussions with Steve and Kjetil, decided on a reasonable solution for the requirement to be able to add new users to a set of roles, after they have been newly registered during the handshake process. Each server will have a sets of roles and authorised IP addresses which are allowed to request the role management (indirectly via the call to createUser.) These sets will be writeable by the admin role only, and are created at server startup.

I've implemented this in the HEAD, and back-ported it to the scarab branch, for updating the IBA server.

Also had discussions with Steve about methods for checking the validity of the newly upgraded online chart code, and came up with some ideas about comparing generated fields from each version. Added to this is also the requirement to generate some tables for the Sun and the Moon for a set period of years (up to 2020), listing the date and time they enter each sign.
