2009-03-20 Jason Rennie

2009-03-14 Danny Brian

• added the ability for new() to take a named param list
• added a new() param "noload" to not preload index files, but to instead use Search::Dict lookups thereafter

• added _dataLookup() to consolidate reads from data files
• added _indexLookup() to consolidate reads from index files
• added _indexOffsetLookup() to consolidate offset reads from index files

• all file opens are deferred until necessary; for noload this means as long as possible, for caching it means during the constructor (see _get*FH() functions)
