If you check the branch, you'll notice that it only refactors the
scaffolding, not the report themselves.
Main changes:
- CacheManager becomes a singleton
- abstracts the method for registering objects and provides a second
interface by registering callback objects rather than callback
functions
- provides better internal layering and organization

Aim of the branch is to finish cleaning up the internal namespace -
only entry point should be CacheManager::GetInstance() and its
methods.
cache_manager.cc should end up being pure c++-style with one legacy
interface, namely registerAction(OBJH *).

I agree with you that changing the contents of the pages is NOT within
the scope of this branch, and I won't be doing that.
At the same time, I'd like to finish what I started.
