the Inform library release 5/10 for Inform 5.5 seemed to be hard to find;
it's part of file inform.5.5.beta.tar
To make things easier for people who download one of the executable
versions of Inform 5.5 and are looking for the accompanying library,
the files grammar.h, parser.h, and verblib.h are now in this directory as
individual files, too.
