RubyKif status report

With a great deal of help from some Treetop experts, I've been
able to create a parser and emitter for KIF.  Because of the
approach I have taken, these should be quite insensitive to
small syntactic vagaries.  Here is a sample translation:

  ( retrieve                [ :retrieve,
    10                        10,
    ( ?x    Person )          [ :'?x',  :Person ],
    ( happy ?x )              [ :happy, :'?x' ]
  )                         ]

Although there is more work to be done (eg, adding diagnostics,
running against a corpus of "real" KIF), I think that most of
the hard issues are out of the way.  For more information, see
