  Credits:    
    Kit was based loosely on the interoperable design of web server and browser clients. 
    The publisher-reporter interaction in Prowl reflects a nuanced view of the 
    client-server model as applied to ledger-based currency brand issuance, use and 
    promotion.        
    
    At this stage of the project, Kit is still in need of other contributors or 
    other teams to start their own prowl reporter implementations. Please announce 
    any related effort at http://groups.google.com/group/prowl-users?hl=en.

  Installation:
    Download and unzip the Kit package in your web root (htdocs or localhost directory.) 
    Follow the simple steps in db/create.php.  

  ChangeLog:
    - Initial release as a downloadable package; 
    - added parser.php; 
    - added create.php for creating setting database/user/tables and populating tables
    - evaluation function now graphs against Unix time instead of days
