# Generic class to update properties from Emesary for the MFD
#
# In the simplest cases where the Emesary EventParameter for the specified
# Event ID is a hash whose values can be mapped directly to property values,
# it can be used directly.  For more complex cases, the handleNotificationEvent
# method should be over-ridden, and should return
# emesary.Transmitter.ReceiptStatus_OK or equivalent ReceiptStatus value.
