- independent reader / writer object for designspace documents.
- imports and exports easy to subclass objects for instance, source and axis data.
- roundtrips
- intended to be compatible with use in MutatorMath, Superpolatpor and varlib.

for now, though proper fix is more complicated.
This was hit now because the subsetter was changed a while back
to retain script systems even if empty... I don't like that.
I had forgotten to bump the version for 3.2.0... Sorry :(
This is not a problem for the released packages, since versioneer correctly writes the tagged version.
It's only the hard-coded version string that's used as a fallback if git fails to compute the version which I forgot to update.

Backslash-prefixed glyph name can be used in a Feature file to distinguish them from identically-named keywords.
From section "2.f.i. Glyph name" of Adobe's Feature File Specification:
> An initial backslash serves to differentiate a glyph name from an identical keyword in the feature file language. For example, a glyph named "table" must be specified in the feature file as: \table
Thus, when we parse a glyph name that begins with a backslash, we need to ignore the first character.
Note that makeotf rejects feature files with glyph names that start with or contain backslashes, even when escaped with another backslash.
feature liga {
sub \\glyphWithBackslash by A;
} liga;
This yields:
makeotfexe [FATAL] <Backslash-Regular> invalid token (text was "\") [features 2]
ttx is now equivalent to:
$ fonttools ttx
pyftsubset can be called as:
$ fonttools subset
varLib can be called as:
$ fonttools.varLib
Also adds a executable at toplevel called fonttools, such that
with "./fonttools ..." one can run stuff without installing.
Python seems to automatically include ./Lib into its search path.
The table structure requires that all named instances have the same
record size. Slightly refactored the compilation code to make the
logic easier to understand/maintain.
