Get updated CodeWarrior Pro 7 tools !

Open (path to):mozilla:js2:tests:cpp:macbuild:js2_shell.mcp and build it.
There is also (path to ):mozilla:js2:tests:cpp:macbuild:parser_test.mcp, if you just want to try out the full parser
without getting complaints about unimplemented features from the back end.
