/* Features of class SourceData:
- Read a file (from the given URL) or accept data via a string.
- Allocate and free buffers as necessary.
- Run a preprocessor, when specified.
- Run the line-matching preprocessor, when specified.
- Run other preprocessing steps: Uppercase, ignore comments,
                                 remove carriage return, ignore numbers.

Order of operation:
 1. If data was given via a string then save it to a temp file. (see setData())
 2. If the specified file is nonlocal (URL) copy it to a temp file.
 3. If a preprocessor was specified, run the input file through it.
 4. Read the output of the preprocessor.
 5. If Uppercase was specified: Turn the read data to uppercase.
 6. Write the result to a temp file.
 7. If a line-matching preprocessor was specified, run the temp file through it.
 8. Read the output of the line-matching preprocessor.
 9. If ignore numbers was specified, strip the LMPP-output of all numbers.
10. If ignore comments was specified, strip the LMPP-output of comments.

Optimizations: Skip unneeded steps.
