(This stops system font character 128 being reprogrammed to a tick, and also
stops the desktop font being switched to WimpSymbol when character 128 is
encountered.)

Version 4.32. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_32'

(this was clashing with the Interlace module at one point during STB
development, and had the potential to trip us up again in the future).

No longer produces build errors if some resources are absent.

Corrected token in Japan messages file to use valid UTF-8 character.

Service call table now included by default.

Version 4.23. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_23'

Version 4.20. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_20'

Optimisation to new WimpSymbol substitution code: in icons containing fonts other than the desktop font, the substitution table is only calculated when a symbol character is encountered.

Embryonic cut-n-paste support introduced (currently in desktop builds only):
  * workspace is allocated and initialised;
  * extended Wimp_GetCaretPosition implemented;
  * pushfontstring adapted to allow insertion of arbitrary control sequences in
    font strings (to allow selected text to be plotted in inverted colours).
Inverted, unfilled text icons now work properly again in <256-colour modes.
Reworked NC error box code: see Doc.IconHigh.

Version 4.11. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_11'

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'

UTF-8 support from previous version switched in; additional alphabet- conditional support added as follows:

* Correctly converts character index returned from Font_FindCaret into byte
  index into raw string.
* Left-arrow, right-arrow, delete-left and delete-right now act as far as
  the next character boundary, instead of to the next byte.
* Menu item text justification works again (it relies on overwriting spaces
  with hard space characters, which are two-byte characters in UTF-8).
* General key handling code has been rewritten. The Wimp now has three
  internal key input buffers - one each for taking keyboard-generated,
  task-generated, and function-key-generated strings. Each input buffer is
  processed in chunks of one character, rather than one byte; malformed
  UTF-8 characters are rejected, so tasks don't have to worry about them
  (simplifying their character-handling code). There is also a key output
  buffer, to ensure that (UTF-8) sequences of Key_Pressed events are not
  broken up.
* As a result of the above, multiple calls to Wimp_ProcessKey are now
  possible between calls to Wimp_Poll. Previously, this resulted in bytes
  getting jumbled up - making it useless for input of UTF-8 characters.
* Multi-byte characters are inserted into writeable icons in one go, so you
  don't see a brief flicker of the "malformed character" symbol while the
  initial bytes are being inserted.
* Multi-byte characters that don't entirely fit in a writeable icon buffer
  are not inserted at all.
* A new validation string command ("U") can limit the contents of a
  writeable by number of characters, instead of bytes. This will hide the
  character sizes from the user interface.
* Allowable characters (validation string command "A") now works on Unicode
  characters and character ranges.
* Various other minor bugs are fixed (Wimp_ProcessKey 13 can activate a
  writeable menu item, Shift-arrow keys are always consistent in firing off
  Key_Pressed events, etc.)
* Password icons supported: one symbol is displayed for each character
  (instead of for each byte); the display character (validation string
  command "D") can be any UTF-8 character; correctly displays the caret
  after set-caret-by-index calls, even though characters in the processed
  string are different width to those in the raw string, in password icons.

Other changes:
* The border around NC-style error boxes is resized when the error window
  is grown or shrunk.
* Messages, CmdHelp and Template files made consistent across resource
  directories, including support for all Ursula features.
* ShrinkableAreas turned back on in System=RCA builds.
* User interface features of desktop OS builds standardised.

Version 4.06. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_06'

Changed to use srccommit.
All conditionals on "Version" removed.

Version 4.01. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_01'

Made options files specify any text wanted after the module version number.
Auto-fronting iconbar now returns to previous position rather than back, so
it interacts with Shift+F12 better.
