The Component Library is the most used graphical component in Kepler.  It is in
essence the "Control Panel" for building workflows.  Because of this it is
important to give the user as much control over this area as possible.  

To do this a mechanism for viewing components as they appear on disk is needed.
 This will allow users to organize their components however they want in
folders while still providing the ability to index the components within the
Kepler ontologies.  

Popup menus allowing the user to do basic control functions like "Move, Remove
(from ontology), Delete (from disk), Create New, View LSID,  View Revisions,
View Documentation, Open, Annotate, etc..." should be added to the components
and their containers (whether the container is an ontology/concept or a
folder/kar).  The popup menus are displayed from AnnotatedPTree.maybeShowPopup
using subclasses of the LibraryPopup class.
