[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 20080701-dda-M Summary: Add script for converting 'new classname' => 'new lz.classname' in .lzx fils

[P T Withington]

There's already a script in WEB-INF/server/bin called  
convert_laslzo.pl to handle other transformations.  We are developing  
this script separately as is is a _required_ change, whereas the  
others are optional.

I'm also working on a patch to 4.0 that will emit compiler warnings  
when you refer to a class by the tag name.  This will perhaps allow a  
more graceful testing/debugging environement, since both forms are  
supported in 4.0
