Initial commit

Basic GNU standard files are added, and we now stop worrying about
monadic anamorphisms.

The current focus is on testing the correctness of the algorithm, so I
need convenient support for manipulating, interpreting, examining, and
per chance animating nondeterministic automata.

+//! This file defines the behaviours of R-algebras.
+//!
+//! For a functor F, an R-algebra is a natural transformation from F1
+//! to the identity functor, where F1 is the functor that sends T to
+//! F((F(T), T)).  This extra F(T) represents the context during the
+//! computations.
