glyphIgo v. 1.18 released.

Added a function to count the number of characters (displayable, not counting XHTML tags) in an EPUB eBook:

Code:
$ python glyphIgo.py -e ebook.epub -c
[INFO] Reading characters appearing in 'ebook.epub'...
[INFO] Reading characters appearing in 'ebook.epub'... Done
[INFO] Number of characters appearing in 'ebook.epub'...
1310564
[INFO] Number of characters appearing in 'ebook.epub'... Done

$ python glyphIgo.py -e ebook.epub -c -q
1310564
Please observe that the counting is somewhat "approximate", as explained in the Technical Notes in the project web page:
