f40e1ac8f8 Added support for hierarchical maximum entropy LM through SRILM.
Currently, the code compiles, but has not been run or tested.

    Steps to compile with maxent LM are below:

    - Download SRILM 1.6.0

    - Download the maxent patch from
      http://www.phon.ioc.ee/~tanela/srilm-me/srilm-1.6.0-me.patch

    - Download the required libLBFGS library from
      http://www.chokkan.org/software/liblbfgs

    - Edit SRILM's sbin/machine-type script
      to return MACHINE_TYPE=i686-m64 for case x86_64

    - Compile libLBFGS and install it in the /tools/SRILM/SRILM-1.7.0 directory.
      Make sure that the liblbfgs.* library files are in /tools/SRILM/SRILM-1.7.0/lib//

    - In the /tools/SRILM/SRILM-1.7.0 dir, apply the maxent patch to SRILM:
      patch -p1 < srilm-1.6.0-me.patch

    - Point the appropriate SRILM makefile
      to see libLBFGS's include and lib dirs, following the instructions at:
      http://www.phon.ioc.ee/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=people:tanel:srilm-me.en

    - Compile SRILM

    - Compile Moses using --with-srilm and --with-maxent-srilm:
      ./bjam --with-srilm=/tools/SRILM/SRILM-1.7.0 --with-maxent-srilm=true

    NOTE: The above steps were for my original integration.
          Current versions of SRILM (such as 1.7.1) include the maxent patch.
          As such, it should be sufficient to compile a current version of SRILM
          with support form maxent enabled,
          and then compile Moses using --with-srilm and --with-maxent-srilm:
          ./bjam --with-srilm=/tools/SRILM/SRILM-1.7.0 --with-maxent-srilm=true
