Message:

when a collection (using gdbm) is opened by tomcat, windows holds a lock on the gdbm file, so you can't rebuild it. modified ModuleInterface to have a cleanUp method, so all modules need to implement this. for mg/mgpp and gdbm modules, they now unload the index data or close the connection to the database. so cleanUp should be called whenever you deactivate a module
