Morrowind Mod:Text Defines

Text defines in Morrowind are special strings within dialogue and message boxes, that are replaced at runtime.
For dialogue, they begin with %, and for message boxes, they start with ^.
Any character can follow a sequence, so if "%pcrace" is "Redguard", "%pcraces" is "Redguards".
% (or ^ in messageboxes) followed by any global variable will be replaced with the value of that variable.
All sequences are case insensitive.
Built in defines are evaluated before global variables, so if there is a global variable pcnamea = 50, "^pcnamea" will be the name of the character followed by a, not 50.
Global variables with a % or ^ in them do not behave sensibly (as might be expected).
Global variables with names that are partially contained in other global names (eg. testglobal and testglobala) work correctly (i.e "^testglobala" does not give the value of testglobal followed by a).
