TM->TMW and TMW->TM conversion in RTF is now supported. I've

noticed that formatting is mostly OK but sometimes gets bungled slightly.
I tried everything I could think of, and now I'm passing the buck to Java's
RTF support.

TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE (now misnamed) support TMW->TM
conversion (but not TM->TMW).  There is an automated test case for a
TMW->TM conversion.

I have full confidence in this conversion.  Even the smallest glitch in the core
functionality (not formatting) would surprise me.
