Hotwire 0.710 now available

Hello world,

Hotwire 0.710 is available. This is primarily a followup release to
0.700, see below for the details.  Notably for packagers this one
removes a file with a syntax error.

Special thanks in particular to Zeng.Shixin for his patient help and
patches in dealing with the non-UTF8 support in this release.

* Changes: http://code.google.com/p/hotwire-shell/wiki/HotwireChange...

* What is Hotwire:
Hotwire is an object-oriented hypershell. It is a shell designed for
systems programming (files, processes), and thus it is in the same
conceptual category of software as the Unix shell+terminal and Windows
PowerShell.  The goal of the Hotwire project though is to create a
better systems programming shell than both Unix and PowerShell. We
call it a hyper-shell because Hotwire blends the concepts of a
systems-oriented shell with a modern graphical user interface display.

* Changes copy/paste from wiki:

    * Avoid lockup if completion throws an error (e.g. permission
denied on directory)

during heavy disk I/O ( issue 88 )

API Changes:
