WOSH icarus series

WOSH icarus [release 0.8.xx] is a totally new milestone.
   Kernel, core services and framework have been revisited;
   in short: more stability (allocations, threading and timeouts,
   logging, sate machines), performance (Variant updated,
   less implicit deep-copy), scalability (macros, clear interfaces),
   DRY paradigm (lot of code has been redesigned),
   standardization (such as containers 'using' STL calls),
   library architecture (static initializaition and dynamic allocation),
   networking (now supports more libraries), persistence (still work in progress).
