Orthography conversion basically working; auto-mapping of morphemes on the cards

Wrote the orthography-generating XSLT, and tested and refined it with SMK working on the l-affric file. The only remaining outstanding questions are: what to do with dotted n (change to nn, or keep as-is, or remove the dot); and how/whether to insert the extra schwas we see in older examples of the orthography.
Also tested some XQuery to determine how practical it will be to link some morphemes in hyphs automatically to their source morpheme. There are many instances where a particular string has only one existing morpheme link, so there are lots of candidates. My XQuery could be used to build a lookup table for all instances of a string which has a single existing corresp, and we could use that to auto-link a lot of m elements.
