You really used proper OOP this time! :) That METHODS "thing" was ugly.

I can't wait to get my hands on the new code. I'm particularly very 
interested in the new state file; would give some *proper* checkpointing 
on my BOINC project (I did one hell of a hack to save to (uncompressed) 
file only when BOINC tells me to and create the PNG when the render is 
done).
