New Utility

	I have added an "English to C" translator to utl$exe. To be more
precise, I have added the program DECLARE, which takes a (more or less)
plain English declaration and translates it to a C declaration. As usual,
you need to make a foreign command, like:

    $ DEC*lare :== $ UTL$EXE:DECLARE

then you can type:

    $ DEC array of pointers to functions returning pointers to float

and have it type:

float *(*X[])();

which in fact I just cut from my TPU_DCL buffer, having used Dave's spiffy
DCL command. It can also be used by just running the program and typing
a declaration to be translated in response to its "> ". For (a few) more
details, see DOK:DECLARE.DOC.
