------------------------------------------------------------------

I finally had a bit of time to port the WordPerfect parser to the project.  I 
also added a Quattro Pro parser (also from WordPerfect Office suite).  As it is 
the first time I make a pull-request for Tika, let me know if anything is not 
proper.   

The QuattroPro parser only supports .qpw files, but since other QuatroPro 
formats share the same mime-type, the parser will be invoked for other formats 
as well (.wb?).  I added a check in the parser code that will simply log a 
message stating the format is unsupported when encountered.  If you have a 
better approach to suggest let me know.
