I have commited my changes in this branch.
This new parser version seems to be almost 100% GP 2.2.4 compliant,
with correct error reporting.

The only know problems:
-- % last value variable is not understood.
-- f'() numerical derivation is not understood.

This should not be difficult to handle, it is just that GP2C does not
know what to do with them.

Now we need to validate this parser.  It is here that you can help. 

One way to do it is to check thath 'gp2c -G' is idempotent, i.e.
that 

gp2c -G file.gp and gp2c -G file.gp | gp2c -G give the same output.

The following can be used for the check.
It is important we check as much GP scripts as we can before changing
the GP parser.

Cheers,

Bill.
