Author: E.W.Ayers

This code takes a dump of math overflow XML and produces
a structured set of questions with answers.

1. Get mathoverflow.net.7z file
2. Extract this to `DATA_DIR = 'data/mathoverflow.net'`
3. Run `questions()` and run it to get a dictionary of mathoverflow questions.
   Each question has an `Answers` field that contains a list of answers for the given q.
