Less is more

The Ark no longer automaticly creates the Etc and Home cabinets when first created. Rather, this is now handled by an Init class in the framework. The idea here is that you might want to use the Ark in a program as an embeded database and don't need these cabinets.

The question in my mind now is DescriptorUnits. Descriptors are used largely for validating commands. Perhaps we need a layer above the Ark which deals with validation and other descriptor-governed behavior.

This is not a show-stopper right now. In eariler versions of AW, descriptor logic was spread across several modules, including commands. All very ad-hoc.

Perhaps all we need is a wrapper class where we can put all the descriptor-related logic.
