DirectoryViewer Plugin

This is just a simple plugin that provides the UI to the DataModelLib. I made it as a separate plugin because I didn't want to overwrite any work you were doing on iCores. If you open it up, you'll see that it is very similar to the iCores UI, so eventually we could merge it into the main iCores plugin. But for the time being, I've left as a separate project. One thing to note is that this plugin is track-aware so it will create new tracks for different directories. This allows it to work simultaneously with split core and whole core images as well as for separate holes.

My main motivation was to familiarize myself a bit more with the code base and come up with a solution that will allow the scientists who will be at the drill site this year to view their core images before I get them put into iCores back at McMurdo. The network connection between McMurdo and the drill site won't really be appropriate for sending large amounts of data back and forth, so they will have their own dedicated Corelyzer workstation out there and I will probably send out a hard drive daily with the split core images as we get them. They can just copy the images to a directory on the Corelyzer system and view them directly.
