dchandler 7198f23361 I really hesitate to commit this because I'm not sure what it brings to the
table exactly and I fear that it makes the ACIP->Tibetan converter code
a lot uglier.  The TODO(DLC)[EWTS->Tibetan] comments littered throughout
are part of the ugliness; they point to the ugliness.  If each were addressed,
cleanliness could perhaps be achieved.

I've largely forgotten exactly what this change does, but it attempts to
improve EWTS->Tibetan conversion.  The lexer is probably really, really
primitive.  I concentrate here on converting a single tsheg bar rather than
a whole document.

Eclipse was used during part of my journey here and some imports were
reorganized merely because I could.  :)

(Eclipse was needed when the usual ant build failed to run a new test
EWTSTest.  And I wanted its debugger.)

Next steps: end-to-end EWTS tests should bring many problems to light.  Fix
those.  Triage all the TODO comments.

I don't know that I'll ever really trust the implementation.  The tests are
valuable, though.  A clean implementation of EWTS->Tibetan in Jython
might hold enough interest for me; I'd like to learn Python.

/**
* Provides a clean interface to the multi-tiered system of user
* preferences (also known as options).
*
* <p>The {@link java.util.Properties java.util.Properties} class
* makes it easy for us to provide a hierarchical preferences (that
* is, options) structure. One option a user might wish to set is the
* font size for Tibetan, for example. The highest precedence goes to
* a pref that the user set on the Java command line using something
* like <code>java -Dpref=value -jar jskad_or_whatever.jar</code>. If
* the user went to the trouble of doing this, we definitely want to
* respect his or her wish. The next highest precedence goes to an
* individual user's preferences file (a file readable and writable by
* {@link java.util.Properties java.util.Properties}, but also
* hand-editable), if one exists. Next is the system-wide preferences
* file, if one exists. Finally, we fall back on the preferences file
* shipped with the application inside the JAR.</p>
*
* <p>ThdlOptions is not instantiable. It contains only static
* methods for answering questions about the user's preferences.</p>
*
* <p>There are three kinds of preferences: boolean-valued preferences
* ("true" or "false"), integer-valued preferences, and string-valued
* preferences. Boolean-valued preferences should, by convention, be
* false by default. If you want to enable feature foo by default,
* but give a preference for disabling it, then call the preference
* "DisableFeatureFoo". If you want to disable feature foo by
* default, call it "EnableFeatureFoo". This makes the users' lives
* easier.</p>
