Day 42

Today is the ultimate day. Today is Day 42 of my Object Mentor Appreticeship, and oh what a day it is.

I must say, I have thought I was done with the HistoryComparer time and time again, but I keep needing to improve it. All that work and refactoring that I had done before for the findBestMatch stuff, I deleted all of it... Turns out, it makes more sense to save all of the matches, no matter their score or which tables are matched, then order the matches based on their score (highest to lowest), and then remove any match which use the same table but are of a lower score. This way each table only has 1 match, and it is always matched with its best match. The reason for this change was that we found a bug where if lefthand table6 was matched with righthand table6 with a .8, then lhtable6 was matched with rhtable7 with a .9, and then lhtable7 was matched with rhtable7 with a 1.0, then the only remaining match would be the last one made since each time the new match was added, it had a better score and the previous match was using one of the tables in the new match (and since a table can only have one match, the old match had to be deleted). The new strategy will preserve the lhtable6-rhtable6 match since by the time it compared those matches with the other ones, the lhtable6-rhtable7 match would have been deleted(since it is earlier on the list because it has a higher score, and after the table7-table7 which would delete the table6-table7 because it uses table7).

I also added a few more features, like displaying the score for every match, displaying if the two pages where a complete match, and other things like that.
