Merge branch 'refactor'

This merges the libmaple refactor work into master.  The contents of
libmaple proper (/libmaple/) are almost completely incompatible with
previous APIs in master.  See /docs/source/libmaple/overview.rst for
more information on the new design.

Wirish incompatibilities are limited to the HardwareTimer class;
however, there are several new deprecations, most likely to be removed
in 0.1.0.

 /build/
-    Binary output
 
-/libmaple/
-    Lowest level definitions, routines, macros, and functions. This is the meat
-    of the library.
+    Compiler output
 
-/wirish/
-    Extra wrappers and functionality around the lower level code which is 
-    useful for programming in the IDE. Files in here implement the "Wirish"
-    language, an Arduino "Wiring"-like language.

-Instructions to Compile for ARM Targets
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-The best HOWTO for developing with this code is the "libmaple Unix Toolchain
-Quickstart" guide at http://leaflabs.com/docs/libmaple/unix-toolchain/.
+/libmaple/
 
-The Codesourcery g++ compiler for arm platforms is required. It is based on gcc
-(they push changes into gcc a couple times a year), get the latest EABI version
-from:
+    Lowest level definitions, routines, macros, and functions. This is
+    the meat of the library.  The Arduino-like compatibility layer is
+    in /wirish/.
 
-    http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm
+/libraries/
 
-Note: grab the linux binaries for targeting the EABI platform (not to be 
-confused with the linux binaries /tageting/ the linux platform).
+    Special-purpose libraries that don't merit inclusion in the
+    /libmaple/ and /wirish/ directories, which are intended for
+    general use.  Arduino-compatible libraries go here.
 
-I unzip the archive ("TAR") version into a directory such as 
-~/bin/arm-gcc-codesourcery and then add the bin/ directory within that to my
-$PATH in ~/.profile, resource that, then check that arm-none-eabi-gcc and
-others are in my path.
+/LICENSE
 
-You will also need to have dfu-util installed and on your path (on Linux) or
-compiled and placed in a folder "dfu-util/" at the same level as the
-maple-library folder (macosx and windows).
+    Licensing and copyright information.
 
-Write your program using /main.cpp as the entry point. Then just 'make help'
-and follow the directions!

-Instructions to create a library
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-If you have a complicated project with its own Makefile and multiple .c files,
-or you're using an IDE that creates its own Makefile, you'll probably want to
-load libmaple from an archive (a build-time library, not a DLL). Use the
-"make library" target, and install build/libmaple.a and the appropriate headers
-in your project's directory. At a minimum, the header set will include
-libmaple.h, util.h, and libmaple_types.h
+    main.cpp is required for a successful build but is non-existent by
+    default; use this file as a template for building your program. By
+    default, just blinks an LED.

+
+    libmaple build instructions for GNU Make.

+    library.
