I haven't done much in the way of CVS commits lately.  In case 
anyone's interested, here's what I've been working on (besides 
classes, which started yesterday here!).

While in Scotland in mid-August, I had some conversations with a 
friend who is experienced in writing compilers, and with some 
pointers from him, I think I can do a substantially better job 
with gretl's "genr" functionality.  I believe we can make genr 
more efficient, more robust, and more readily extensible, by 
using employing a more systematic approach to the parsing of 
user input.  So at present I'm working on that genr replacement. 
It won't be in 1.6.0 -- which I'd like to release as soon as all 
outstanding bug reports are handled -- but I hope it will be in 
1.6.1.

Allin.
