Howdy.  A few bug fixes and nice reorganization internally yields 3.0ea5

Jean will release another version of ANTLRWorks soon.

Here is the change list in the README.txt file:
---------------
3.0ea5 - July 5, 2005

* Using '\n' in a parser grammar resulted in a nonescaped version of  
'\n' in the token names table making compilation fail.  I fixed this  
by reorganizing/cleaning up portion of ANTLR that deals with  
literals.  See comment org.antlr.codegen.Target.

* Target.getMaxCharValue() did not use the appropriate max value  
constant.

* ALLCHAR was a constant when it should use the Target max value  
def.  set complement for wildcard also didn't use the Target def.   
Generally cleaned up the max char value stuff.

* Code gen didn't deal with ASTLabelType properly...I think even the  
3.0ea4 example tree parser was broken! :(

* Added a few more unit tests dealing with escaped literals

Oh and for fun, here is an SMTP grammar (simplified) that I may use  
for my lectures in India coming up.  It's a nice example using  
literals in the grammar

grammar SMTP;

requests : request* "QUIT" '\n';

request : hello from to data ;

hello : "HELO " host '\n' ;

from : "MAIL FROM: " addr '\n' ;

to : "RCPT TO: " addr '\n' ;

data : DATA ;

host : ID ('.' ID)* ;

addr : ID '@' host ;

ID : 'a'..'z' ('0'..'9'|'a'..'z')* ;

DATA : "DATA" '\n' ( options {greedy=false;}: . )* '\n' '.' '\n' ;

Here is some sample input:

HELO cs.usfca.edu
MAIL FROM: parrt at foo.com
RCPT TO: parrt at bar.com
DATA
hi Ter, I'm in India!
.
QUIT
