I wish to announce version 1.0.0 of CodeBuilder. As the code 
originally came from ProtocolBuffer I've now eat some dog food by 
utilizing the library within ProtocolBuffer. I've also put in 
unittests and a readme.

The Dub package provides two configurations, one for mixins and 
one as a file writer. When using the file writer it is of no 
interest to modify the line numbers as you'll actually have a D 
source file to look at.

Change Highlights

* Reduced complexity. Originally I was trying to store generated 
code in to many different places, There was the current state, 
the stack that held items which would later be popped into the 
current state, a build so code could be structured before putting 
it on the stack, and the current state could be returned by 
asking for it's memory. All that goes away and instead another 
CodeBuilder can be put or pushed into another.

* The string used for indentation can be specified (but is global 
for all code builders.

* The code string isn't created while putting the string into the 
builder. Instead it is stored as an operation that is used to 
generate the string when calling finalize(). This makes 
indentation consistent when putting one CodeBuilder into another.

I'd also like to note that Google's Protocol Buffer source has a 
similar need, but I like my API better :)
