Version 1.3 Alpha 4 (not yet released)
======================================
8/31/00 : beazley
Improved handling of string array variables. For example,
a global variable of the form "char name[64]" is automatically
managed as a 64 character string. Previously this didn't
work at all or required the use of a special typemap.

7/23/00 : beazley
New %constant directive. This directive can be used to
create true constants in the target scripting language.
It's most simple form is something like this:
%constant FOO 42;
In this case, the type is inferred from the syntax of the
value (in reality, all #define macros are translated into
directives of this form).
An expanded version is as follows:
%constant(Foo *) FOO = &FooObj;
In this case, an explicit type can be specified. This
latter form may be useful for creating constants that
used to be specified as
const Foo *FOO = &FooObj;
(which are now treated as variables).
*** EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE *** The syntax may change in
the final release.

Modified the parser so that variable declarations of the form
"const type *a" are handled as variables, not constants.
