Initialize temporary line structures properly
Apparently, not initializing all elements of a struct can lead to random
problems if something somewhere decides it should reference one of those
uninitialized fields. Who knew. Set the temporary line_t structure to zeroes
before passing it into anything when calculating the stuff for "object"
output which should at least make things predictable.
This seems to fix a crash reported by "strick" in Discord.

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.
