Service_SwitchingOutputToSprite code optimised: graphics parameters are now only cached when making the first Wimp_PlotIcon call while output is switched to a sprite, and upon return to screen output after such an occurrence.

 
All error box templates featuring "border" icons updated to have button type
0 (never). This prevents IconHigh from mistakenly allowing them to be selected.

Version 4.07. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_07'

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 4.05. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_05'

Following resources updated for Ursula changes: Germany/Ursula, Japan/NC2,
UK/NC2. Others will probably still need doing.

Version 4.04. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_04'

Added resources for Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, to support the NC2 Scandinavian user-interfaces.

Version 4.03. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_03'

Version 4.02. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_02'

Version 4.01. Not tagged

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.
