library is ready, for some values of 'ready'. it compiles, and the
interface is useable. three quarters of the code are based on my r2l
code, so i'm pretty sure they work, the rest is new code to support
tzafrir's biditext_base property.

i decided that as long as we use files, we might as well make full use
of them. therefore, i store in the file the 'biditext bidi' property in
plain text, as the tokens 'neutral', 'rtl' and 'ltr'.

the code can be gotten at
http://www.pointer.co.il/~mulix/r2l/r2llib-mulix-0.01.tar.gz. it
compiles, but that's the most i can say, as i havent even written a test
driver for it.

as always, commentes welcome. nothing is set in stone, if you dont like
the interface or the implementation, tell me or send a patch. if you do
like it, buy me a drink sometime.
