- got rid of M_ReadFile(Malloc) which werew each used only once in the entire code. These were still using the low level POSIX-style file interface which shouldn't really be used anymore.

- let FScanner::OpenFile return an error instead of throwing an exception. The exception was never used anyway aside from being caught right away to be ignored.
