Fixed phonetics code to strip post-suffix d (bug 800167 in

SourceForge).

  Implemented (somewhat kludgily) option for phonetics scheme to
  replace e with é iff it is the last letter of the last tsheg bar.
  This is required by the new THDL phonetics spec.

  New algorithm, per new THDL phonetics spec, for ba->wa processing.
  The heuristic is that it applies only to the last tsheg bar in
  multi-tsheg-bar words.  (Previously, ba always generated "?ba/wa?",
  which is maybe more correct but less attractive.)  This heuristic
  fails on, e.g., "tsheg bar".  Oh well.

  Rationalized format of phonetics file: > is used as separator in exceptions
  as well as rules.  (Previously, : was used in exceptions only.)
