The new MRL parser is now installed under source code control. To get it,
type:
rccs get -package mrl-parser
Then:
make mrl

This new parser supports error recovery and consistency checking as
well as code generation. At the moment, it does not generate code
for hooks, but it does check HOOKS declarations for correct syntax.
I tried to test it under a variety of circumstances but only had a limited
number of test files in the new syntax. Also, we have not been able to check
that the generated code compiles with the object system. So at the moment it
should be considered a syntax checker for developing mrl specifications.
We'll know more when we get the object system compiled.
