Fixing threads' DoFinish() method.
- The option to use integers insteads of double was ignored.
- Renaming script-level options to remove the ds_ prefix.
- Log rotation didn't work.
- A set of simple unit tests.
I copied the code over manually, no merging, because (1) it needed to
be adapted to the new threading API, and (2) there's more stuff in the
branch that I haven't ported yet.
The DS output generally seems to work, but it has seen no further
testing yet.
Not unit tests yet either.
