-----------------------------+-----------------------------
 Much of the clean-up of 1.5 and 1.6 paved the way for BuddyPress to
 eventually move away from needing to define the $bp global we've all come
 to know and love. The next part of this is turning the BuddyPress class
 into a singleton, with magic methods for getting/setting/checking the
 individual variables it uses.

 bbPress has already gone this route in 2.1, though it completely removed
 its dependency on the $bbp global (it was only around for 1 version, with
 single-digit plugins using it.) Totally eliminating the $bp global will be
 much more difficult to do,  though we can easily go it through-out
 BuddyPress core as we go.

 Attached patch finishes the singleton job, but keeps the $bp global around
 as a byref to the singleton.
