snocone patches

Patches to Mark Emmer's distribution of Andrew Koenig's C-like snocone (a SNOBOL with syntactic sugar) preprocssor for SNOBOL4 to run under CSNOBOL4. Due to licence restrictions, only Mark can redistribute the sources, so you'll have to FTP them from ftp.snobol4.com and apply my diffs (easy to do, using the Unix "patch" utility).
