LSID tester - new features

[Roger Hyam]

Looks great Rod.  Really nice stuff.

I need to look at the errors and warnings and work out what is going on
in detail when I turn back to looking at LSID. Hope to suggest
additions/improvements in the near future.

Keep the site up as I'll use it for testing - better than Launchpad
methinks!

All the best,

Roger
