Dragboxes can now be clipped by and/or fixed to a given window's work area
SWI Wimp_AutoScroll implemented
Ursula icon highlighting scheme redesigned

Bugfixes:
Wimp_Extend 11 now performs the same check on R1 as the main SWI handling code
Message blocks now updated if in a dynamic area
Screenblanker now turned off when error box is displayed
ptr_double now turned off when a drag starts

(some are also available in other builds):

* New icon highlighting scheme - hue rotated 180 degrees, photographic negative,
  darkened 25% - suits Ursula icons better.
* Release-button window tools compile-time switch turned on.
* Any "TASK" word cleared on exit from Wimp_OpenWindow, Wimp_GetWindowState,
  Wimp_ForceRedraw and Wimp_CloseDown.
* Child windows are no longer allowed to be opened inside the icon bar.
* Message_IconizeAt generation optimised, and no longer calls non-X SWIs.
* Message_IconsChanged implemented, and switched out on speed grounds.
* Wimp_ReadSysInfo 15 removed, replaced with (new) Wimp_Extend 11.
* Backwindows are now segregated from normal windows. A new category,
  foreground windows, are added, and stay above all other windows. (The error
  box template is updated to make it a foreground window.)
* ROM sprites override RAM sprites (and duplicate RAM sprites are deleted
  during the building of the sprite lookup list, preceding the first sprite
  plot after a sprite pool update).
* Wimp_ReadSysInfo 16 added, to return sprite area pointers in order of
  priority (Wimp_BaseOfSprites retains the ROM/RAM distinction).
* Error box code altered:
  + symbolic names used for offsets into tempworkspace
  + error button text buffer enlarged
  + stretched error buttons now shrink back for next use
  + int_flush_opens called at appropriate points to ensure buttons are seen to
    slab in, and to reduce flicker when redisplaying error box at a different
    width (also fixes some redraw bugs)
  + Cancel button given the R6 type border when it will be activated by Return
    (and is therefore moved to the extreme right in such cases)
  + Escape now always selects the second-right button (unless there's only one
    button!) - this also fixes a bug when there's a single user-defined button
  + keypresses in "xxx may have gone wrong" error boxes are now correctly
    interpreted - previously the buttons available in the underlying box were
    being used to determine the effect of keys
  + maximum number of buttons increased from 4 to 8, and the machine no longer
    crashes when the maximum is exceeded
  + window stretches horizontally to keep error message to 7 lines or less
* Bugfix: opening or creating a window with a minimum x visible area coordinate
  of -1 was leading to any of smearing/flickering/recursive drawing. (This was
  actually due to a failure to recognise which windows' positions had been
  updated.)
* Features merged in from spinner branch Wimp:
  + support for UpCall_MediaSearchEndMessage added
  + control-termination allowed in upcalls (used to require null-termination)
  + escape character switched to default during error box display, then
    switched back again afterwards
* GetRectangle filters are now called with (internal) window handle in R10.
* Autohourglass is deactivated whenever WrchV is invoked. (Also optimised.)
* Action button bugfixes:
  + action buttons now deselect if the pointer is dragged off and a window tool
    is the pressed before all the buttons have been released
  + action buttons now slab in following a long (autorepeating) press on a
    scroll arrow window tool

Added ALIGN directive before watchdog callback label.
Added option to select double-height VDU 4 modes.
Added German resources.
Added necessary options for parallel-port debugging via the PDebugM module.

 - tidied up Wimp08s
 - Added optional use of kernel lock for Wimp_ClaimFreeMemory, controlled
   by KernelLocksFreePool in Options (currently true for Ursula only)
 - restricted max size of Wimp Sprite Pool dynamic area to 16M (controlled
   by WimpSpritePoolMaxSize in s.Memory) to avoid wasted address space on
   large memory machines

Made the Wimp always call the postfilter when returning from Wimp_StartTask, rather than only if the child didn't Wimp_Poll. Also ensured that nothing untowards happens if the filter tries to claim this apparent "null event".

Stopped cursor jumping to top left when a task was killed outside the desktop (eg *RMKill ShareFS at the F12 prompt).

Hourglass depth now incremented by 1 between calls to Wimp_Poll; effect is to automatically display hourglass whenever applications hog the CPU, irrespective of whether they already display the hourglass themselves or not.

Hourglass is automatically smashed before any Command Windows are displayed
so that output-generating single-tasking programs are not forced to show the
hourglass due to the behaviour described above.

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.
