Added the continue.tmpl template - and modified the html pages accordingly

Browse source 
(though eoCheckPoint.html is still a long way to complete).
Added some comments in all template files - and replaced
the protected by private (don't remember why these were protected!!!).

<br>&nbsp;
<p>Continuators are functors that compute stopping critera. They receive
a population and return a boolean value which is set to false only when
some stopping vriterion is met. All algorithms in EO have a loop that goes
<b><font color="#993300">while(continuator(pop)
{ ... }<tt> </tt></font></b>which means that the algorithm stops only when
the continuator returns <b><font color="#993300">false</font></b>.

<b><font color="#993300">do{...}while(continuator(pop)</font></b>which

and the interface for its operator() is

ior more sophisticated continue conditions in&nbsp; <a href="eoLesson2.html#combinedContinue">Lesson2</a>.
<br>If you want to find out how it is used inside an algorithm, go and
see for instance in eoSGA, the simplest EA within EO.
