Changes:
o Added keyboard support to Apple ][ driver (only works under X).
o Added a couple more instructions to the emu68k core (and still nothing runs).
o Added range checking to ROM accesses in the genesis driver.
o Disabled I/O logging of FM chip writes in the genesis driver.
o Fixed a bug with MMC3 IRQs (SMB3 fortress now works correctly).
o Cleaned up the NES PPU code somewhat.
o Cleaned up the SMS sprite renderers somewhat.
o Rebuilt command line parsing for X version and added (but failed to
document) a command to override system detection (needed to access the
Apple ][ driver).
o Fixed some problems with GG sprite clipping and tile rendering (only
affects 8-bit mode).
o Fixed X toplevel window to resize properly.
o Cleaned up some of the X video code.
o Added (untested) 24bpp support to X video code.
o Cleaned up the FDS emulation code.
o Added a lot of (inaccessible) extra FDS functionality.
Changes:
o Unified cd_freebsd.c and cd_linux.c into cd_unix.c.
o Added support for NetBSD CDROM (untested), and sound interfaces
(thanks to Thomas Klausner for the NetBSD changes).
o Changed the nes bank 4 and 6 I/O hooks.
o Fixed FDS mapper to compile again.
o Fixed some problems with the PCE timer.
o Changed the PCE VDP interface not to use procpointers.
o Added clipping sprites to the right side of the screen to the PCE VDP.
o Removed the old (disabled) ROM type identification routine.
o Fixed the battery file handling to not use a cheap hack to get the
filename (this breaks all gg savegames until you rename the battery
file).
for each of the continuation lines, rather than using backslashes to
continue a single, long definition. This makes it much easier to spot
pre-requisite packages and other dependencies.
NES, SMS, and GG with sound, PCE without, and has basic support for some
other systems (SMD, Coleco, Atari ][).
This will not work on MSB-machines, for lack of access. The code
should support it, so if anyone's willing...

changes since 991023a:
-various bugfixes
-soundblaster emulation
-cdrom emulation
-new fpu emulator
moved out of ${X11BASE}, there is little reason to have it there
- Fix RO string that got written
- Add mmap() when we run ELF, because we need to map lomem
- Fix uninitialized reference in di->location
- Make doscmd_loader use loadfile() [Tested only with ELF]
