 * PigLatin is an auxilliary class for the Translator applet which
 * actually handles the String transformation into Pig Latin.  It is a
 * while (true) {echo();} loop which runs in its own thread.<p>
 *
 * Note that the modularization of this applet is not what one might
 * expect from standard Java.  For more details, see the
