normalizer.fixInner. Moved code that should be excute once to the
constructor.
Fixed a null exception for fixInner.
Fixed a cast exception in linkObjects.
added pre-parsing normalization steps: ratio2number, toNumber,
formatNumericalRange and compoundPreps.
replaced unrecognized tokens in regexps with utf-8 characters.
other fixes are being debugged.
continue debugging
fixed bugs for pre-parsing normalization.
created testcases 2-7.
merge remote master to branch
fixed a set of minor markup issues
added new packages to index
in process fixing CharacterListChunker
getting closer to synch chunks and parse tree in characterListChunker
fixed CharacterListChunker, more TO_PHRASE chunks (include those
chara-llist using "or") were produced, which were not processed
correctly at this time --causing infinit loops somewhere.
Made TOProcesser to process or-based TO_PHRASE.
To fix a bug that cause the program to hang at DescriptionExtractorRun
-- after 31 description files have been annotated, it never gets to the
32nd file.
fixed a bug in AbstractChunker.collapseTwoSubtrees() which would
introduce extra tokens in the description sentence. Now the program runs
to its completion without stacking at countdown(). Still 4 exceptions
remain.
changed terminal->chunk mapping from terminal Id to stanford parse tree
identitiy hash; removed need to reindex -> removed reindexing;

working on getFirstObjectTree to prevent long, complex, messy PP/VP
chunks. 
requires [VP]PChunk to end with a NN.
requires the Object of a [VP]PChunk to not start with a punct e.g. ','
requires the [VP]P and the Object to be consecutive in the original text
(no long text blocks in between).
working on OtherINsChunker. Updated the code with Hong's implementation.
