[Pipet Devel] problem found

[J.W. Bizzaro]

I found the source of the problem I had where the DL2BL IOR wasn't being
read.  It turns out that it IS a timing problem.  On line 71 of runpiper.py,
the IOR must be getting purged (as if old) after it is created:

        os.system("rm ~/piper_info/ior/*")

So, I commented it out, and I get the messages I should (maybe not) get.  Here
is the output with a pre-Copenhagen BL:

--------------------------------------

I'll have to try the latest BL.  What do you think Jarl?  Is it ready?

This is why we need to make the layers/components runable stand-alone.  I'll
try to get PiedPiper to run stand-alone by looping all signals back, sort of a
debug mode.  It will let me work on it without some of the other components
being functional.
