[developers] ECL-compiled MRS code in LKB CVS repository

hi,

just a heads-up: there used to be

  .../include/mrs.h
  .../lib/linux.x86.32/libmrs.a

in the LKB distributions.  i just realized these files are dependent on
the specific version of ECL installed locally, so need to be generated,
rather than distributed (unless we included the ECL runtime library in
the LKB distribution too).  so i removed the files from CVS, which may
cause those of you compiling their own PETs harm the next time you `cvs
update' the LKB.  as you do that, the old MRS include and library files
may get deleted, and you will have to remember to trigger recompilation
explicitly (`make mrs' in the old PET Makefile).

while we are at it, francis documented (for the `main' branch):

  ./configure --with-tsdb=... --with-eclmrs=... --with-icu=...

any chance we could still harmonize that to, --with-lkb and --with-ecl?
for the first one, we are picking up the MRS library and [incr tsdb()]
libraries from the LKB tree.  i am currently experimenting with adding
the finite-state preprocessor to that collection, hence `--with-tsdb'
really is a bit of a mis-nomer.  for the second path, i take this to 
point to the ECL root directory (i.e. `--prefix' when installing ECL),
at least according to what francis put on the PET wiki?  in that case,
`--with-eclmrs' is not quite the right name either, in my view.
