DAVEM TPF grant#2 weekly report for weeks #198-#199

(this report covers 2 weeks)

The work described in my previous report below has now been finished and
merged, and did indeed fix all the remaining multioncat issues:

Other than that, I've made a start on a little piece of work to make the
parser die more gracefully if an attribute is encountered *following* a
subroutine signature (they were recently moved to precede it).  Currently
the parser tends to just spew a whole bunch of confusing warnings and
errors.
