Ultra small program for converting lists of things into constant lists for
HiSoft Basic 2, a bit like enums, but const is much nicer :-)

First make a nice list of anything you want to turn into a list of stuff.
This list can contain anything, but make sure it is all valid as variable
names.  You do not need to include any nasty '%' signs.  I really hate
typing them.

Then run 'constant-ize <filename>' and a few seconds later you will suddenly
have a couple of new files in the same directory.

'<filename>_h.bas' is the real file of usefullness.  It contains the list of
constants you want to include in your program.  You can then do stuff
without remembering tedious stuff like offsets.

'<filename>_sub.bas' is a quick subroutine that may come in handy.  I like
loading a string array with the same contents as the constants so I can
print what it is without doing a million 'if' statements.
