Summary: Hex character references not handled

Initial Comment:
Hexadecimal character references such as &#x3C; (which
is equivalent to &#60;) are not handled by JTidy. The C
version of Tidy seems to have no trouble with it.

When faced with &#x3C;, JTidy reports

Warning: entity "&#x3" doesn't end in ';'.

For a couple example pages that demonstrate the problem
when run through JTidy, see:

http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/special.html
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/latin1.html

I'm using jtidy-04aug2000r7-dev.

Thanks for the info.  We will look into this when working on the new version of JTidy as soon as the HTML 
Tidy folks issue their next release.
