[antlr-interest] Patch to fix "method to big" errors

[Paul J. Lucas]

	ANTLR was generating static arrays that were huge for my lexer.
	It made Java complain about the method being too big (over 65535
	bytes).

	I hacked the ANTLR source code to change the way the tables are
	generated.  I've attached a patch file.  I hope this makes it
	into the main ANTLR source.

	- Paul
