port of GWT GChart to python pyjamas

[lkcl]

the excellent GWT Chart Library, GChart:
    http://code.google.com/p/gchart/
is being ported to python, to run under the pyjamas [desktop / web]
widget set:
    http://pyjamas.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pyjamas/trunk/library/pyjamas/chart/
approximately 15 of the 30 examples and 1 of the 90 test charts have
been ported already, enough to show that the libray is in a mostly
useable state, even after only three days.  pie-charts are proving
slightly problematic (as GChartExample24, which is a pie chart editor,
shows).

on the TODO list is:
* the rest of the examples and test charts
* GWT's NumberFormat (a basic one is in place right now)
* GWT's DateFormat (a basic one is in place right now)
* a basic implementation of re.py (for use in pyjs)
* a port of http://code.google.com/p/gwt-canvas/ (for GChart
optimisation purposes)

conversion of the examples from java to python is pretty
straightfoward: pyjamas/contrib/java2py.py is a _very_ basic java to
python converter which takes care of the majority of the global/search/
replace tricks, and also it converts all { } matched braces into the
correct python indentation levels.  when using java2py.py, it relies
on well-formatted code (which 99.9% of GWT is, and 99.5% of GChart
is).  code MUST be converted to actually _have_ braces, so a single-
line "if" statement will give a great deal of grief: pre-editing of
the java code is therefore sometimes required.

please note: no real experience of java programming is required to
convert java into python with java2py.py.
