Description: Daemon base class
Class: Daemon
Create and control Unix daemon processes
Author: By
Last change: There was an error in method releaseDaemon() - wrong condition caused untimely deleting PID file.
Again thanks goes to Josef Svoboda for pointing it out :-)

Now we can set Daemon::requireSetIdentity to true/false for terminating daemon if seting identity has failed.

Other minor changes.
