The pointer comparison checking required when running in a system with > 64M memory was tightened up from Wimp-4_75 to Wimp-4_76, but to allow the module to target pre RISC OS 5 systems an option to relax those checks is required.
Each check has been revisited and where appropriate demarked with a "AcceptLoosePointer" macro, which just remaps the pointer into the stricter form and carries on. In the strict checking case, the macro reduces to nothing.

Detail:
Add AcceptLoosePointers switch.
Retire singular use of StrongARM switch (calling XOS_SynchroniseCodeAreas is harmless pre StrongARM anyway).
Rename Ursula_RPC options to RO400.
Put duplicate documentation in the attic.
Allow -2 or -1 as the iconbar handle in Wimp_ResizeIcon (ticket #203).
Tighten up the list terminator check in the DebugMemory switch of Memory.s

Tested on RISC OS 3.10 (emulated), 3.50, 3.60, 3.70, 4.02.

Version 5.24. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_24'

Detail:
  All pointers passed to the Wimp (mode selectors, menus, sprite areas,
  palettes, pollwords, validation strings, message lists, routines etc etc)
  in any of its APIs can now be anywhere within the 32-bit address range.
  In general, whenever "<= 0" was accepted as a null condition, the value
  must now be either 0 or -1. It should also be tolerant of system memory
  areas (supervisor stack and RMA) being in the top half of memory.
  Also:
  * Default next slot now a build option - Ursula builds (eg Tungsten) use
    1024K instead of 640K
  * Ursula builds no longer have a build variant in the help string
  * Autosenses ROM location
  * CR-LFs in *Configure messages replaced with LF-CRs
  * Added Iyonix resources (currently based on Morris4)
  * Morris4 sprites files have gained file_lxa, small_lxa, file_unf,
    small_unf and lo!help sprites
  * Ursula sprites files have gained lo!help sprites
  * *WimpSlot can take memory sizes in megabytes or gigabytes
Admin:
  Tested on a "traditional" memory-mapped Tungsten.

Version 4.76. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_76'

Detail:
  Lots of little changes throughout a lot of source.
Admin:
  Appears to work - not stress tested with things like lots of tasks, big
  transfers, and all the other things that tend to go wrong.

Version 4.47. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_47'

Adapted assembly process so that the choice of Options file (previously based purely on the "System" variable) can be overridden by passing "OPTIONS=foo" as an argument to either MkRom, or to amu/amu_machine directly, or indirectly, by specifying it in the components file for a build. To accomplish this, it was necessary to switch from using aasm to objasm - hence the large number of source files affected in this commit.

Version 4.09. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_09'
