/*

Description
-----------

Input is a grammar in extended BNF (using * for repetition, + for
at-least-once repetition, [] for optional parts, | for alternatives and
() for grouping).  This has already been parsed and turned into a parse
tree.

Each rule is considered as a regular expression in its own right.
It is turned into a Non-deterministic Finite Automaton (NFA), which
is then turned into a Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA), which is then
optimized to reduce the number of states.  See [Aho&Ullman 77] chapter 3,
or similar compiler books (this technique is more often used for lexical
analyzers).

The DFA's are used by the parser as parsing tables in a special way
that's probably unique.  Before they are usable, the FIRST sets of all
non-terminals are computed.
