[dylan] Updated plugin for IntelliJ

Hello everyone,

The IntelliJ plugin is available via the JetBrains repository and has been
updated today:

    http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7325

Among the new changes in the last week:


   - Improvements to the Dylan parsing (although we aren't there yet when
   it comes to macros).
   - Go to symbol works (as long as the file parsed)
   - Go to class works (as long as the file parsed)
   - Structure view (again, as long as the file parsed)
   - Folding works for some things (functions, methods, classes, libraries
   and modules).


There's still a ton to do, so if anyone out there enjoys writing Java and
feels adventuresome, we welcome the help!

Things to do include:


   - Being able to invoke the compiler and process warnings and errors.
   - Reference contributors to be able to find implementations,
   definitions, etc while browsing code.
   - Various annotations / inspections to find and highlight errors.
   - Improve the Dylan parser.
   - Implement error handling in the Dylan parser.
   - Work on macro support in the Dylan parser.
   - Improve the syntax highlighting for Dylan (can we base it on the
   parser results rather than only lexer results)?
   - Project templates.
   - Testworks integration.
   - And more!
