Migration to new parser, db structure, UI done

Jim Wismer and I have finished migrating to the new parser, database structure (which now includes ‘article’, ‘book’, and ‘other’ categories), and user interface.

In the course of integrating the new article completeness index, I noticed some places where I could reduce some of the complexity in the UI; I believe the new version it is easier yet more powerful.

Please try it out if you have a chance. If you find bugs let me know.
