Multidingus

[John MacFarlane]

I've added peg-markdown, RedCarpet, and PythonMarkdown (thanks
Waylan). I've also changed the display format so that implementations
with identical output are consolidated.

Some fun examples to see how useful this can be:

Maybe you should add 1.0.1 too, like I've done for Babelmark, because it's the latest public release and it is probably the one in more widespread use. 1.0.2b8 and 1.0.1 do exhibit significant differences in some areas.

> > 		all trailing whitespace characters.

> > 1.0.2b6 - Mon 03 Apr 2006

> > 

> > 	+	Fixed bad performance bug in new `Text::Balanced`-based block-level parser.

> > 

> > 1.0.2b5 - Thu 08 Dec 2005

> > 

> > 	+	Fixed bug where this:

> > 	

> > 			[text](http://m.com "title" )

> > 			

> > 		wasn't working as expected, because the parser wasn't allowing for spaces

> > 		before the closing paren.

> > 1.0.2b4 - Thu 08 Sep 2005

> > 

> > 	+	Filthy hack to support markdown='1' in div tags, because I need it

> > 		to write today's fireball.

> > 	

> > 	+	First crack at a new, smarter, block-level HTML parser.

> > 

> > 1.0.2b3 - Thu 28 Apr 2005

> > 

> > 	+	_DoAutoLinks() now supports the 'dict://' URL scheme.

> > 

> > 	+	PHP- and ASP-style processor instructions are now protected as

> > 		raw HTML blocks.

> > 			<? ... ?>

> > 			<% ... %>

> > 

> > 	+	Workarounds for regressions introduced with fix for "backticks within

> > 		tags" bug in 1.0.2b1. The fix is to allow `...` to be turned into

> > 		<code>...</code> within an HTML tag attribute, and then to turn

> > 

> > 		The regression was caused because in the fix, we moved
