zerodivisor and nonzerodivisor

	Seems better this way.

Algebra: Grothendieck's lemma for finite presentation case

	We added the non-Noetherian case of what we like to call
	Grothendieck's lemma. It says that if R --> S is a flat and
	essentially of finite presentation local map of local rings, and
	if f is in the maximal ideal such that f maps to a nonzero
	divisor on S/m_RS, then f is a nonzero divisor on S and S/fS is
	flat over R.

	There is also a more general statement for modules.

	See EGA IV 11.3.7.

	For some reason we did not have this version of Grothendieck's
	lemma and it may be that some of the arguments in the algebra
	chapter may be simplified by using this lemma.
