Hi Matthew,

Seems that I messed up an error message template.  The  
CANNOT_WRITE_FILE message indicates that ANTLR couldn't write  
something...must be permissions issue where you are writing output or  
the files themselves are protected...

Sorry about that...  BTW, Matthew, you'll note the improved error  
message from StringTemplate, which is handling the error messages.   
It gives you the context (which template(s)) of the error now. :)
