	- XTM::Memory::id: setting of id added
	- XTM::topic, doc corrections
	- using a precompiled version of the Parse::Recdescent (considerable AsTMa= speedup)

	- various documention bugs fixed (still much to do)
	- astma2xtm.pl: some minor changes in switches (see man page)
	- AsTMa parser: local comments MUST have at least one blank before the '#' (see docs, may break some maps, sorry)
