Now that the Erlang backend is working again I've managed to also
compile** the MiniZinc tools in the erlang grade (minizinc_to_flatzinc.m
is ~27,000 lines of Erlang if anyone is wondering.)

Furthermore, the tools also work in the Erlang grade (at based on the
rather limited testing I've done so far.)

** actually things went a bit wrong when compiling one of the Zinc
frontend modules, but since the code in question isn't actually useful
aside from for debugging the tool itself I just commented it out - I'll
post a bug report concerning it later.
