Technical backend update

Because of the sheer complexity of tracking and deploying the various changes I am working on, and because many people wanted to know how far along the conversion process is I have decided to put up my worklog list and will just update this post/thread as things move forward.

Please Note This isnt complete, but it is as far as I have gotten to this point today.

Also please note that Valve continues to screw up the CSS OB engine with updates so things are breaking a lot in the span of 12 hours (3 updates)
