[kepler-dev] New actor tree

[Chad Berkley]

I've known for a while that the SimpleTextSearch class skips actors that 
are not ComponentEntities.  This was my fault because I hadn't realized 
that an actor didn't have to be an Entity.  I'll try to fix this today. 
  I think it also skips directors.
