[m-dev.] names of the scanner and parser generators

They have now reached the stage where they are starting to work.
Currently, the scanner generator is called "caribou" and the parser generator
is called "elk", but these names aren't exactly mnemonic. I am thinking
of naming them "merscangen" and "merparsegen", or something along those lines,
with their file suffixes (equivalent to .l and .y) being .mscan and .mparse.
Any opinions?

Zoltan.
