Easier way to init and customize singletons from script.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Talking with Josh--

Right now the easiest way to set the properties of a singleton, like the 
dotsTheDrawablesManager, is with dotsTheMachineSettings and an XML file.  This 
is not convenient during development or when e.g. moving a laptop from work 
station to work station.

To make changes from a script is painful:

dotsTheDrawablesManager.reset;
dm = dotsTheDrawablesManager.theObject;
dm.something = 'custom';
dm.else = 'local flavor';
etc...

Which could get large and out of hand.

---

Would be easier to have a one-line initializer with custom properties (think 
displayIndex and displayRect)

dm = dotsTheDrawablesManager.set('displayIndex', 1, 'displayRect', []);

which might reset the object and apply the given property values.

dotsAllSingletions.reset now takes property-value pairs, which allows easier 
setting from a script and overrides and XML settings.
