Class: Freshmeat project query class

This class is able to query the Freshmeat site to retrieve information on Open Source projects with records there. It features:

- Retrieval of project information from records provided by Freshmeat in XML.
- Parsing project XML records to extract all the relevant data.
- Caches retrieved project information in disk files for at least the next day to avoid retrieving the same data again before it could have been updated.
- The information is obtained using an HTTP class with support for configuring an HTTP proxy and connection debugging generation.

If it is used the cached Freshmeat project records query support, this class can avoid the overhead of processing previously queried projects
