Fixed CI scripts on Windows For an unknown reason, unzip on Windows reports status code 50 (presumably "the disk is (or was) full during extraction.") even if there's plenty of space. To workaround this, simply ignore status code 50 on Windows. Sigh.

# PetitParser and PetitCompiler for Smalltalk/X

## PetitParser 

*Grammars for programming languages are traditionally specified statically. 
They are hard to compose and reuse due to ambiguities that inevitably arise. 
**PetitParser** combines ideas from scannerless parsing, parser combinators, 
parsing expression grammars and packrat parsers to model grammars and parsers 
as objects that can be reconfigured dynamically.*

For more details on PetitParser itself refer to [PetitParser homepage](http://scg.unibe.ch/research/helvetia/petitparser)

## PetitCompiler

**PetitCompiler** compiles regular PetitParser grammars into an equivalent top-down 
parser implemented in Smalltalk. The compiled parser is significantly faster than
PetitParser based one. 

### Documentation
