Subject: [PATCH] changed the definition of MassNP in Romance so that subject
 position doesn't return the partitive but the definite article. Thus "wine is
 good" becomes "le vin est bon" and "I drink wine" becomes "je bois du vin".
 Partitive on subject position seems incorrect, and the definite article the
 best choice when translating mass terms without articles on the subject
 position.
