Summary: FileHelpers 1.5.0 Released

With some delays but the library is always moving forward thanks to a hard work and the help of all you.

Breaking changes:
- Both DataStorages: SqlServerStorage and AccessStorage completely changed, from now you don´t need to override this classes (in fact you can´t because are sealed)
You can use these classes as client and provide the callbacks for the Insert and Fill record methods.(check the examples)
- The FieldQuoted attribute was completely rewritten to support optional quote for read, write or both.
So you need to use now the QuoteMode enum and not only a boolean. (For Excel generated CSV files you must use the QuoteMode.OptionalForBoth value) (check the examples)
- MOD: DataBaseStorage to DatabaseStorage (Case change)
- MOD: Extract and Insert Records now returns the inserted or extracted records

Mayor changes:
- ADD: New FielOptional that allows that the n last fields of a record be optional.
- ADD: Multiline Quoted Field support (with this we finish the support for Excel generated CSV files)
- ADD: Multiline Records supports via the FieldInNewLine attribute to allow records to span multiple lines
- ADD: OleDbStorage thanks to Permjeet Pandha to use with any Data Storage that supports OleDb access.
- ADD: The ReadMethods of the FileHelperEngine can return the data as a DataTable the sufix of this methods are AsDT. That is perfect to load sample data into your NUnit test (examples comming soon)
- ADD: New IgnoreEmptyLines that allows you to mark a record with it to ignore empty lines in the source data.
- ADD: CommonEngine.SortFile and SortRecords by field or using the IComparable interface if the records implement it.
- ADD: New demo code in a Console Application project to make easy to newbies play with the library. (download it from the examples)
- MOD: A lot of refactoring in the source code and changes in the the folder layout.
- MOD: Code in the Docs now highlighted with the excellent dp.SyntaxHighlighter from Alex Gorbatchev
