[project @ Monitor status implementation + config_pipeline cmdling args]
  * configure_pipeline now takes an optional command line
    argument of an eland config file to use. (Overrides
    automatic download).
  * Added monitors.py which contains methods providing a way
    of triggering some sort of threaded monitor of pipeline
    progress.
    *  startCmdLineStatusMonitor(conf_info) prints status
       to stdout
  * Updated configure_pipeline script to use the
    startCmdLineStatusMonitor function.
  * ConfigInfo object now holds a status variable
    (GARunStatus object)
    * requires calling conf_info.createStatusObject() after
      _cfg_filepath has been set (currently handled by
      run_pipeline function)
