Updated rtoa-pgatram.cpp to allow a list of files in argc/argv[] rather than just one (thanks marioroy). Also made minor improvements to rtoa-pgatram.cpp (including how to build it with the fast_io library). Removed rtoa-roman.pl since it is just rtoa-pgatram.pl with its roman_to_arabic function replaced by Roman's arabic function.
