New ixml processor

Last night my new cleaned-up ixml processor ran for the first time.
I wrote the old one while testing out ideas for ixml, and to help with 
decisions about the notation, and of course to support the writing of 
papers, to show output produced.
As a result it was full of lots of testing cruft, and stuff that was there 
before I knew how to do it properly.

So the new version is cleaner and as it happens slightly faster, though 
that wasn't an aim. The line-feed bug is fixed I believe. It has correctly 
processed the ixml grammar.

I will run the necessary regression tests today, and then replace the 
server version with this one.

The next step is then to translate it to C.

The bootstrap parser is 540 lines of ABC, and the ixml parser 690 lines 
(including copious comments).
