[TYPO3-ect] lib/div 1.0 - it's time to say thank you

[Elmar HInz]

Hello Team,

the beta release 0.1.0 of lib/div is comming closer. The last upload of
lib/div to the TER has been downloaded over 50 times during the first 24
hours according to typo3.org counting system. That is high value comparing
ordinary extensions, especially when you consider that lib/div is just a
library and not of direct use itself for the enduser. Obviously there is a
community of developers that is remarkably interested in the new library
system, which is very promising for the next milestone lib/div 2.0.

So I think it is time to say thank you to all, who have contributed with
ideas, with code, with infrastructure or by communicating and sharing the
visions. I want to name some of them acting for all.

  that lib/div uses by wrapping them in form of objects.
