Make base prefix sigils error out if no number following
Prefix sigils (0x, %, &, @, $) were parsing to 0 if there was no number
following the prefix. Make parsing fail if that is the case. Note that in a
couple of obscure cases, it may give "undefined symbol" rather than "bad
operand" due to some interactions with other unfortunate features of the
source format.

With LWTOOLS 4.0, a substantial reorganization of the project has occurred. This document serves to explain the reasoning behind the various changes. The most obvious change is that the gnu auto tools have been eliminated. While they proved useful for initial distribution of the software, particularly for construction of the win32 binaries, they have since proved to add an unacceptable level of complexity to every aspect of development from merely tinkering with source files to doing complete releases. Thus, the auto tools have been ditched in favour of specific hand tuned help where required. The other substantial change is that the source code repository has been recreated from scratch. The old repository was full of cruft from various revision control systems that were used over the years (CVS, Subversion, and Mercurial). It was felt that starting a new Mercurial repository with a completely clean slate would simplify matters substantially. Thus, the old repository now serves as an archive.
