It's a different event system, very light and focused on simply taking
notice of object views and handing over to the plugin enough
information to develop some statistics.  I started out by using the
University of Rochester's statistical package as a guide to where the
JSPUI should be instrumented for this purpose, and later worked out
where to do the same in XMLUI.

I looked at using the existing event system, but there was some
sentiment that that subsystem's purpose wasn't a good fit to what I
was doing, and on further study I found that I agreed.  So there are
now separate event mechanisms for observing changes to the repository
(the existing event system) and noting the viewing of data in the
repository (my patch:  "usage events").

There are a couple of very small sample event consumer classes
included, and it may be that the best way to understand the framework
is to study one of them.

It does use the existing plugin mechanism.  The DSpace documentation
has been updated to show the single necessary configuration change.
(The consumers have their own dab of configuration too.)
