Ok, world file now has parens.  I have also implemented the file->save
option by adding a pure virtual SaveFile() function to CWorld: CServer
implements this to save the file; CClient currently does nothing (should
send a message to the server I guess).

Oh, and I've added a test suite of world files, most of which generate
errors (by intent).  So whenever someone finds what appears to be a bug in
the parsing (like the [1, 2, 3] instead of [1 2 3]) I can add this to the
test suite.

I'll check in these tests as stage/tests/worldfile unless someone has a
better idea.  I intend to add more tests in here as time goes by.
