[Tdg] Intelligent 'enum's in C++

[Graham Wakefield]

Except that, on closer inspection, you need to define BOTH an enum,  
and a Map_t, for each event type, so we still have duplication in  
different locations.  Might as well have a static function with a  
switch to look up the event name from the event enum.
