[General] evaluateAllButInitializer, evaluateInitializer

[Robert Krahn]

Hi, Phil.

There was an update of the sources in the wiki. However, the wiki  
worlds and the recent changes are not compatible. I wanted to add some  
code which would ensure that the existing worlds would stay compatible  
and would be converted but I hadn't time to get this done. I will not  
be able to do this before next Tuesday.

The new changes scheme is simpler than the old one: There is an  
initializer (simply some JavaScript code) which is run after the world  
is loaded (it is the same as the postscript but exist in any local  
code definition). The preamble does not exist anymore but all  
definitions in the local ChangeSet are loaded before the world is  
recreated.
