The old thotlib was UNIX only, the new one works on windows.

C, and a couple of specific languages for schemas and stylesheets.

As you see, the app that should work with the new (cross-platform) lib
is far from working, and benj has been preempted for other tasks, so

The other work, with preliminary schema and stylesheet, make use of
the old UNIX-only ThotEditor.
