806db414dd Copyright: clarify and simplify the file headers
* Lumiera source code always was copyrighted by individual contributors
 * there is no entity "Lumiera.org" which holds any copyrights
 * Lumiera source code is provided under the GPL Version 2+

== Explanations ==
Lumiera as a whole is distributed under Copyleft, GNU General Public License Version 2 or above.
For this to become legally effective, the ''File COPYING in the root directory is sufficient.''

The licensing header in each file is not strictly necessary, yet considered good practice;
attaching a licence notice increases the likeliness that this information is retained
in case someone extracts individual code files. However, it is not by the presence of some
text, that legally binding licensing terms become effective; rather the fact matters that a
given piece of code was provably copyrighted and published under a license. Even reformatting
the code, renaming some variables or deleting parts of the code will not alter this legal
situation, but rather creates a derivative work, which is likewise covered by the GPL!

The most relevant information in the file header is the notice regarding the
time of the first individual copyright claim. By virtue of this initial copyright,
the first author is entitled to choose the terms of licensing. All further
modifications are permitted and covered by the License. The specific wording
or format of the copyright header is not legally relevant, as long as the
intention to publish under the GPL remains clear. The extended wording was
based on a recommendation by the FSF. It can be shortened, because the full terms
of the license are provided alongside the distribution, in the file COPYING.

e82dd86b39 Library: reorganise test helpers and cover logging tracker object
...these features are now used quite regularly,
and so a dedicated documentation test seems indicated.

Actually my intention is to add a tracking allocator to these test helpers
(and then to use that to verify the custom allocator usage of `lib::Several`)

1a76fb46f3 Library: elaborate SeveralBuilder operations
Consider what (not) to support.
Notably I decided ''not to support'' moving out of an iterator,
since doing so would contradict the fundamental assumptions of
the »Lumiera Forward Iterator« Concept.

Start verifying some variations of element placement,
still focussing on the simple cases

685a9b84ee Library: replace boost::noncopyable by our own library solution
Benefits
 - get rid of yet another pervasive Boost dependency
 - define additional more fine grained policies (move only, clonable)

155bf95ce5 Doxygen: magically insert a reference to the test class
this bit of Sed magic relies on the fact that we happen to write
the almost correct class name of a test into the header comment.

HOWTO:
for F in $(find tests -type f \( -name '*.cpp' \)  -exec egrep -q '§§TODO§§' {} \; -print);
  do sed -r -i -e'
    2          {h;x;s/\s+(.+)\(Test\).*$/\\ref \1_test/;x};
    /§§TODO§§/ {s/§§TODO§§//;G;s/\n//}'
    $F;
done

24b3bec4be Doxygen: prepare all unit tests for inclusion in the documentation
Doxygen will only process files with a @file documentation comment.
Up to now, none of our test code has such a comment, preventing the
cross-links to unit tests from working.

This is unfortunate, since unit tests, and even the code comments there,
can be considered as the most useful form of technical documentation.
Thus I'll start an initiative to fill in those missing comments automatically

48e9b7594a Doxygen: identify all files lacking a @file comment
reason is, only files with a @file comment will be processed
with further documentation commands. For this reason, our Doxygen
documentation is lacking a lot of entries.

HOWTO:
find src -type f \( -name '*.cpp' -or -name '*.hpp' \) -not -exec egrep -q '\*.+@file' {} \; -print -exec sed -i -r -e'\_\*/_,$ { 1,+0 a\
\
\
/** @file §§§\
 ** TODO §§§\
 */
}' {} \;

d2193e381c CLang-compatibility: temporary fix for bool conversion

974c670d41 fix **** in doxygen comments
to make them stand out more prominently, some entity comments
where started with a line of starts. Unfortunately, doxygen
(and javadoc) only recogise comments which are started exactly
with /**

This caused quite some comments to be ignored by doxygen.
Credits to Hendrik Boom for spotting this problem!

A workaround is to end the line of stars with *//**

ada5cefaaf re-arrange tests according to layer structure
the buildsystem will now pick up and link
all test cases according to the layer, e.g.
backend tests will automatically be linked
against the backend + library solely.
