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.

-This directory contains the Sphinx documentation for libmaple, as well

+About the Documentation
+-----------------------
+
+The docs are written in Sphinx's extensions to reStructuredText
+(reST).  You can read more about Sphinx here:

+    http://sphinx.pocoo.org/tutorial.html
+
+Much of the documentation is pulled out of the libmaple source code;
+we use Doxygen XML output into Sphinx documentation.  You can read
+more about Doxygen here:
+
+    http://doxygen.org
+
+We use a Sphinx plugin called Breathe to parse Doxygen's XML output
+into a form usable by Sphinx.  You can read more about Breathe here:

 Documentation Build Steps
 -------------------------
 
+You first need to produce Doxygen XML output, then you can generate
+the HTML documentation.

 Reading and Modifying the Documentation
 ---------------------------------------
 
-The net effect of the above is to produce Doxygen XML output (ignore
-this) in libmaple/docs/doxygen/xml, and HTML documentation (this is
-what you want) in libmaple/docs/build/html.
