Comment (by michaelfox99):

 I've added hierarchical model support to SaveRestoreUtility. It is now
 used by hmm.
 I added two executables: hmm_convert and gmm_convert, which allow the old,
 flat XML files to be converted to the new, hierachical format.
 hmm can now save with arbitrary distributions, provided that necessary
 Save, Load functions are implemented for the distribution.
