Subject: [PATCH] * Do not mark prototype as updated in database when modifying
 the   _prototype property on transient objects. Fixes bug 572.  
 <http://helma.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=572> * Tentative fix for bug 573:
 Calling HopObject.persist() on already persistent   object causes object to
 be updated in database.   <http://helma.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=573>
