It's that time of day again, where I go home to do the shopping, and you
get to laugh at my mistakes!

Despite promises to the contrary, I haven't been able to incorporate 
Sean's latest kernel work into this snapshot, as it doesn't work yet, 
and we haven't been able to sort out why.

Major changes in this version are mostly structural, and are intended
to improve the maintainability of the program rather than add major
new features.  X support is now optional, some slightly tidier and 
more informative debugging is available and a number of obscure but
annoying bugs in the DOS emulation have been fixed.

Due to the significant DOS emulation changes, testers are encouraged to
report any results here for rapid remediation.  Patches are obviously
welcome too 8)

And anyone who is familiar with the issues involved in mmap()ing screen
memory is asked to contact Alexy Pialkin (pialkin@abel.pdmi.ras.ru) to
provide some advice for proper vt save/restore operation in raw console
mode.
