Description patch #9:

	Made inspect autoextractive.

	Now mainly uses the perl dictionary functions in Wais::Dict
	which seem more stable than the XS equivalents. Can handle
	numeric fields too now. Added non Curses mode for
	debugging. The output is not very pretty yet.

Wais
	Added $VERSION for Wais::Result to make CPAN happy.

Wais::Dict
	Code wich allows to tie a WAIS dictionary to a hash. Used in
	inspect.

tests
	Test now hides a bug(?). On solaris one get the results as
	before. On sunos the DICTIONARY_TOTAL_SIZE_WORD is also
	returned. Don't know which is the correct behaviour. I use
	Wais::Dict now.
