All,

I've committed my changes to the trunk, so all should be good now.
I'm going to delete my branch.

I made a few commits within minutes of each other to fix a small bug
preventing the gcc build, but all's well now and I've tested in Ubuntu
(GCC) and Windows (Visual Studio).

I've broken the command line arguments, but I'll try to fix those
tonight.  Visual Studio doesn't have the gnu getopt library which I
used to parse the args, so I'll make some changes to the windows
version to fix that.

I've changed the way the operand stack works; it now allocates a block
of memory for an actual stack (previously used a linked list of stack
frames) and resizes it as necessary.  This provides a 2-3 times
speedup in some programs, and should eliminate a huge potential class
of memory handling errors.  If you run the mandelbrot.kbs example
you'll see a huge difference in the performance.

It looks like there might be some problems with the basicParse.y file
with order of operations.  It also contains some shift/reduce
conflicts that I aim to fix next.

On this list about two weeks ago we got a french translation if anyone
would like to add that in.  If not, I'll get around to it eventually.
