Corrected a bug in moose whereby it failed to return a non-zero exit code when
a critical error occured.

Converted moose to modern syntax with regard to DCGs and State Variables and
module delimters such as '__' vs '.'.  Converted some indentation to four
spaces.

To make moose more useful:
- allow parsing actions to be semidet to allow the imposition
of semantic conditions during parsing.
- add error productions to produce nice error messages.
Cosmetic improvements:
- handle errors in the input better by faking declarations for
undeclared productions; faking a clause for declared nonterminals
with no clauses ; faking declarations and a clause (eg A -> epsilon)
for nonterminals that get used but have no clauses and no
declaration.
- provide the ability to dump a list of the terminal symbols.
- make the various dumps go to files other than the .m file.
Wish list:
- introduce new nonterminals for disjunctions in productions.
This is quite difficult because it requires correct computation
of the nonlocal variables of goals (including all the nasty
cases like pred expressions).
- Implement the groovey PDA algorithms suggested by Andrew.
- compile away the tables.
