Re: a time for MiNTlibs pl47?

[Yves Pelletier <ypell@cam.org>]

Ok folks...  I have begun work on what I hope will become
PL47 of the MiNTlibs.  So far, I have incorporated four main
patches into the old PL46.  They go as follows:

Andreas Schwabb:  more robust _unx2dos and _dos2unx.

Jerry@zedat.fu-berlin.de: better time-handling.

Dirk Stadler: multiple patches, mostly dealing with
              removing dependencies on the __mint variable.

Wolfgang Lux: a few improvements in file handling.

I got the impression, from Petr Stehlik's message, that his
scan-code patch is still a work in progress, perhaps not to be
included yet.  Comments, Petr, anyone? 

In each case, I have taken into account the comments and
improvements that were made by others on the MiNT mailing list. 

Once I am satisfied I have a sound set of files, I will
release a mega-patch, and binaries for those who want to
test them.  Could be three days from now, could be ten;
I will be busy at work for the next few days.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.  Patches should be
submitted to the MiNT list so other people can comment on them.
