Design

Based on Terje's original work, Kevin & Michaels changes.

One new change all agree on is use of a new FunctionEvaluator class and introduction of some other class to store results in.

<uml> abstract class FunctionEvaluator FunctionEvaluator <|-- TclFunctionEvaluator FunctionEvaluator : double eval(const char * =0) </uml>
