Changes since .7

  - Correctly check for passed in column names in build_table
     as an array ref
     
   ! Completely changed the interface.  Create your own object
     that is a Class::DBI::Plugin::HTML object.  This provides
     for setting of parameters in a safer OO way as well as
     via arguments for each method.
     
   + Added alternate row background color, default is grey
   
   + Added accessor methods to set various attributes used
     across several methods.  Not all items have an accessor.
     
   ! Renamed attributes that are passed to methods to match
     the accessor methods that have been added.
     
   + Modified (most of) the documentation to reflect the changes
     outlined above.
     
   + Added dependency on Class::DBI::Plugin::AbstractCount to
     speed up the string_filter_navigation method
     
   + Added additional notes in pod to clarify a couple of
     points
     
   + Added link to example web page: http://cdbi.gina.net/cdbitest.pl
