[Newcompiler] points for math

[Andrew Tween]

Hi everyone,
I have hit a brick wall with the Shout stuff. There is no easy way that I can
see of emulating the existing Shout behavior when parsing incomplete/invalid
method source. So, I am going to park this for the moment, and, if I have a
'Eureka' moment, then I'll come back to it.

So, I am willing to take a look at the bootstrapping problem, if that is ok with
everyone? I am equally happy to do this either on my own, or with others. If
anyone has any thoughts on how this could, or should, be done then please share
your ideas. Anyone want to help?

Cheers,
Andy

Yes, this looks good.  We should try to get the compiler in a shape
that it can replace
the old one, the better error handing and decompiler are required for
that.

Another problem to be solved is bootstrapping: How to re-generate the
Parser using
SmaCC in an image without the old parser.
