// Basic javascript Class object. No inheritance or anything like that
// but allows the nice encapsulation of properties and methods.
//
// Takes as its only argument an object with a set of methods for the
// class. If there is a method called initialize, it will be used as the
// constructor.
//
// Usage:
//
// var Logger = new Class({
// initialize: function(name) {
// this.name = name;
// console.log('init: ' + this.name);
// },
//
// log: function(txt) {
// console.log('log ' + this.name + ': ' + txt);
// }
// });
//

obj = obj || {};
var $Class = function () {
