Revive 'semi-digitized' edition of Wilson

[funderburkjim]

This is similar to the semi-numeric edition of STC (#310).

It uses Perl and a mysql database.
And it uses non-functioning transcoding methods (compile C programs).

To get it to function on the new server, the transcoding was removed: only HK spelling used for input/output.

This also (as with STC) could be revised to use PHP and a sqlite database.
But such a conversion has a low priority.

As low as can be, in 50 years from now.

It is not as low, @gasyoun . I loved to see the PDF being highlighted for the searched headword. It would speed up the correction submissions to a very large extent. Half of the time is spent searching for the headword. With this highlightable version around, we can directly see the headword under consideration straightaway.

@funderburkjim Is the coding logic restricted to Wilson or PWG? Can it be extended to work with ALL dictionaries?

What would really speed them up is the fast submission UI we made, but never scaled.

Half of the time is spent searching for the headword.

Can't disagree more.
