/**
 * Handles the very minimal navigation logic involved in the 
 * slideshow. Including keyboard navigation, touch interaction 
 * and URL history behavior.
 * 
 * Slides are given unique hash based URL's so that they can be 
 * opened directly. I didn't use the HTML5 History API for this 
 * as it would have required the addition of server side rewrite 
 * rules and hence require more effort for anyone to set up.
 * 
 * This component can be called from other scripts via a tiny API:
 * - Slideshow.navigateTo( indexh, indexv );
 * - Slideshow.navigateLeft();
 * - Slideshow.navigateRight();
 * - Slideshow.navigateUp();
 * - Slideshow.navigateDown();
 * 
 * 
 * version 0.1:
 * - First release
 * 
 * version 0.2:		
 * - Refactored code and added inline documentation
 * - Slides now have unique URL's
 * - A basic API to invoke navigation was added
 * 
 * version 0.3:		
 * - Added licensing terms
 * 
 * version 0.4:
 * - Fixed broken links on touch devices.
 *
