Unnecessary use of static values

[BRMatt]

I'm not sure of the reasoning behind the static variables in the Gateway class. In pretty much all instances that one of the variables is referenced you're actually within the scope of a class and thus have to use a late static binding hack to get at the actual value of the variable.

Is there any reason why these cannot be changed to normal member variables?

There is an issue i opened for this reason, Issue 10, where i explain why i use the late static binding hack and why these variables must be static.
