Second attempt at getting 32-bit overlay manager to work.

Version 5.21. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_21'

* First attempt at a working 32-bit overlay manager. Untested.

Version 5.19. Not tagged

  Fixed bug in getenv() relating to macro and numeric system variables.
Detail:
  Uses SYMDEFS file to avoid messing around with generating little text
    files, generating assembler source, assembling it etc.  abssym et al
    are construct as symbol definition template files and then updated
    directly by the linker ready for export.  The linker can use these
    files directly without needing them to be assembled into AOF format.
  Fixed getenv so that it can read macro and numeric variables.  With these
    variable types, R2 does not equal -length of the variable value, so
    trying to obtain a variable with a larger value than any previously
    read variable would fail.  This is now fixed.
  This module will refuse to build without link 5.19 or later.
Admin:
  Requires Library 0.54 or later.

  This component will not build with Library 0.53 or earlier.

Version 5.16. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_16'

Detail:
  Due to a dependency cockup, the C library wasn't being relinked properly
    during rom_link, so all the symbols exported in abssym files pointed
    to the locations the previous build was linked at.  This is now fixed
    by the addition of a new pseudo-target.
Admin:
  Tested clean and incremental build and verified the abssym file.
  Checked the build log to ensure relinking was occurring.
  Versions 5.11 and 5.12 of this component are fundamentally flawed.

Version 5.13. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_13'

Detail:
  This component now supports multiple TARGETs being passed in:
    Pass in CLib for a minimal C library excluding RISC_OSLib.
    Pass in RISC_OSLib to continue to build the full thing.
  BuildSys will be modified to make SharedCLibrary build ONLY
    the minimal library - this may mean that products that are
    to be updated may have to alter their components file to
    take the new SharedRISC_OSLib component instead of the
    SharedCLibrary target.
  syms.A_Entries is now automatically generated from C_Entries
    because this is the easiest way to generate the file.  If
    extra symbols are added to C_Entries, they will need to be
    removed by the egrep command which strips out _swi and _swix.
  Makefile tidied to be more careful about ${COMPONENT} and ${TARGET}
  clean_all rule improved to really clean things properly.
Admin:
  Tested in STB400-2M build and on desktop build.
  Requires BuildSys-2_41 or later.

Version 5.11. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_11'

Version 5.06. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_06'

Detail:
  New script will search the export directory for headers that should
    be exported SWI symbols for it and only cause them to be included
    if it finds the header file.  This means that unless a component
    in your build actually needs the SWI symbols from another component,
    you no longer require that component to be in your modules file
    purely to enable successful generation of swis.h
Admin:
  Test build performed.

Version 5.03. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_03'

Detail:
  amu cleverly sets Sys$ReturnCode to zero just prior to executing
    any command from the Makefile, hence checking for Sys$ReturnCode
    does not work.  Script changed to look for AMU$ReturnCode which
    is (in amu 5.06 and later) the return code of the previous command.
    However, since the variable will not be set by earlier versions of
    amu, the behaviour of always copying the file will return until
    amu 5.06 appears in the build.
Admin:
  Tested manually.

Version 4.99. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-4_99'

Detail:
  The Makefile now performs a diff of CLIB:h.swis and derived.swis
    in order to determine whether it needs to export the header or
    not.  This can save compilation time if the header file has not
    changed since it used to cause virtually all C code to recompile.
  s/makeswish now imports Hdr:Machine.<Machine> and executes $GetIO
    to ensure that the Portable module header export functions
    correctly.
Admin:
  Tested.

Version 4.98. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-4_98'

  Added protection for cfront inclusion of stdint.h to ensure
    inclusion is faulted.
Admin:
  Tested.
  Sources which are compiled -fussy will require Norcroft cc version
    5.11 or later in order to avoid the warning about the use of an
    undefined macro in an #if pre-processor statement and to avoid
    the non-ANSI include warning.

Version 4.94. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-4_94'

A feeble hack to get Edit to display Japanese, plus a more serious attempt
that doesn't work, compiled out.

Version 4.91. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-4_91'

  Moved template for swis.h out of asm source into separate text file.
Detail:
  s.makehswis: The text which forms the common header for the derived
    swis.h is now stored externally rather than declared inline with
    assembler directives.
  h.swisheaders: The external file containing the common header.
    Now wraps the declarations of _swi and _swix with "#pragma -v4"
    to activate the _swi/_swix parameter checking for those functions.
  Makefile: Added dependency of derived.swis on h.swisheader
Admin:
  Built and exported.  Tested with cc 5.09 and it was happy with the
  new pragma (it ignores it).  Tested with what will be cc 5.10 and
  it recognised it and started checking _swi and _swix calls.

Version 4.90. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-4_90'

StrongARMfudge flag removed.
StrongARM compatibility set according to AMBKernel flag in Hdr:RISCOS
strftime %U and %W specifiers fixed for week 0.

Version 4.89. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-4_89'

Merged Spinner branch changes onto trunk (new RCA messages files and Makefile changes). Convert to srccommit while we're at it.

Removed a few $Revision's to prevent future spurious merge clashes.
