New project fmss - fm synthesizer synthesizer.

fmss aims to generate only FM synthesizers in Csound, rather than be a general DSL for Csound instruments. FM instruments in Csound can be implemented fairly uniformly which indicates a generator might be promising. Particularly, the input descriptions should be more succinct than the Csound they generate. My previous attempts with Zsnd had the problem that the instrument definitions were always much bigger than the equivalent Csound instruments. The sole benefit (not always realized) was that ZSnd instruments could be a bit more modular.
