Aligner for Parallel Corpora 0.4

Given a brief test, this is v0.3 but working.

Enhancements

• The Markdown readme file is now used in GitHub as well in ALPACO. Tk::MarkDown was used for this.
• Automatic scrolling when using the mouse wheel was added.
• Added a local lib folder to store pure Perl dependencies to reduce the list of dependencies one has to get. Especially useful for Tk::SimpleFileSelect, as its CPAN release is currently broken.
• Exchanged some system calls of rm by the portable Perl command.

Bug fixes

• Added missing dash in pady command.

Aligner for Parallel Corpora 0.3

This is the initial GitHub release.

The change log so far lists the following:

Changes from alpaco version 0.1

• Changed the wording of verse to text were relevant. (e.g. 'Source verse' changed to 'Source text') Also changed wording of verse into sub-section where relevant. (e.g. A file is broken down into 'verses', changed to 'sub-sections')
• Changed the options that were called "load ..." to "open ...". The terms load and open are synonyms, so we are trying to stay consistent by using only one term, which is open. (e.g. 'load text files' changed to 'open text files')
• Reorganized the user interface. Attempted to make the interface more compact and user-friendly.
• Renamed the option 'Clear Total Entry' to 'Clear All'.
• Changed the option 'Word Distance' to 'Resize'.
• Changed the terms 'first' and 'second' to 'source' and 'target' respectively.
  The change was made when referring to the parallel texts, and it was done to gain consistency throughout the package.
• Changed the size of the main window when alpaco opens. It used to be a short
  wide window. This has been overridden to make it more proportionate.
• In the line-by-line functionality, added a previous line functionality.
  There is already a next line button, but previous may be helpful.
• Removed the "open text files" option from the file menu. This option was not very practical. It just simulated pressing enter on both entry fields. I removed it to make things more compact and uniform.
• Added a 'find file' option to alpaco-helper.
• Added a default splitting rule to alpaco-helper.
• Warned users before saving over pre-existing files in alpaco-helper.
• In both save modes, if a user attempts to save over a file that already exists, have a pop-up that warns them. If they chose to overwrite, simply continue with the save. If they cancel, allow them to re-enter a new name for the existing file.
• Only pack the blinker buttons if a blinker file has been opened. As soon as a blinker file is opened, however, the blinker buttons must stay until a user exits. Removing the buttons if a user opens a different kind of file could cause problems if a user does a particular set of steps. This is much more safe, and also convenient for the user. The buttons are not available if a blinker file hasn't been opened yet.
• Consistency issues I found with Alpaco - bell noise on all errors, make sure all errors have messages, make keyboard shortcuts consistent.
