Hi all,

This webrev is for refactoring the existing local and URL repository 
implementations, so it would handle file management much better and also 
enables us to provide a metadata cache in the very near future. It also 
addresses a few other outstanding repository issues:

1. 6683470  (repo) Refactor local and URL repository implementations
2. 6604984: (modinit) support for ModuleSystem's and Repository's event 
notification
3. 6672434: Enable use of disableModuleDefinition and releaseModule in 
the repository
4. 6566022: (repo) support .jam.pack.gz files in LocalRepository
5. 6558953: (cl) assign correct ProtectionDomain

Webrev:

The existing implementation has a number of issues related to modules' 
platform bindings support, file locking, install/uninstall, etc., and 
these issues are also being addressed in this change.
