[kepler-dev] devKars

I've added a modification to the MakeKars task that gets run when Kepler 
starts up.  Because the startup is so slow at the moment it is nice to 
only start Kepler with a minimal set of actors.  This modification lets 
you specify which actors you want to use.  The fewer you specify the 
faster the startup time.

Here is how it works:

Create a file in the project root (at the same level as all the module 
directories)
called "devKars".

On each line of the file put the name of a KAR you want to load into Kepler.

For example:

SDFDirector
Constant
Display
RExpression

Only the actors in the list will get Kars generated for them and only 
those kars will be read in and cached by Kepler.

For development, it's nice...
