merging back my devel changes (anchor environments)

merging changes from devel branch; new boot files

bring revisions from the vendor branch to the trunk

merging changes from devel branch; see HISTORY

merged my path anchor changes into main trunk
more config/srcarchiveurl! YOU NEED NEW BINFILES more config/srcarchiveurl!
Read HISTORY and src/system/README!

merged pending changes into main trunk; see HISTORY; new binfiles!!

merging branch blume_devel_v110p26p2_1 (elimination of corenv)

changes to modmap generator and CM tool parameter mechanism (see HISTORY)

merging back development branch blume_devel_v110p26p1_3...
This involves changes to CM and the removal of CMStaticEnv from
the compiler.  See the HISTORY file for more information.

merging back changes from blume_devel_v110_26_2

CM changes: standalone builds, better CMB.make/deliver, general improvements

using pathconfig for tool command names

tool plugins implemented

preloading made configurable; bare builds working again

Tools cleaned up

slave implementation put into separate file

minimal/full CM separated

concur moved; remote pathname cleanup; no dependence on target-compilers

library dependenies reorganized (viscomp-core.cm etc.)

in-degree calculation and prioritizing added

parallel make basically works (with rough edges)

getting ready for parallel...

cm-tools.cm added

switchover to new library scheme seems to be completed

compiles now, compiles itself, but then does not boot

mostly done; need to finish Link

new stable format + improved recompile/link (in progress, not working yet)

code discarded in safe cases only

just syncing; this version does not work

unnecessary files deleted; some files moved

small change to AbsPath; NEW_CM dependence eliminated from .cm files

bfc_fetch_xxx bogosity eliminated; more fleshing out of CM

handling of cwd corrected

bootstrapping now working (it seems)

bootstrapping works now (mainly); PathConfig code cleaned majorly

basic bootstrapping is now working

sparc.sml entry deleted from cm-lib.cm

autoloading added

a host of changes related mostly to pathname handling

various changes in pathname handling etc.

SymVal implemented

bootstrap compiler half-working

bootstrap compiler implemented (still needs list file generator etc.)

first steps towards bootstrap compiler

stabilization code completed -- still needs to be hooked up

some more fiddling with the stablefile pickler

first steps towards stabilize (not finished yet)

dyn-tstamp eliminated; more fiddling with sharing (now checked statically)

recompile and exec mostly working (probably still bugs in the details)

persistent state/error handling bogosity fixed

most of recompilation/execution machinery in place

first steps towards make/recompile and stable libraries

new attempt at Skeletons (not quite satisfactory yet)

skeleton type simplified; improved conversion, etc.

stdtool as function; better depend. graphs, group export grammar fixed

GroupReg added; bad error msg behavior fixed

early beginning of dep. analysis

stdtool; yacc/lex/burg tools; some odd fixes here and there

skeleton stuff added (works); error messages improved; SML export analysis

stage0 -- links fine (for testing); parses correctly (apparently)

checking for group cycles implemented (with nicely formatted error message)

semant/members.sml should be fairly complete now

started adding dependency graph stuff

front end completed (modulo bugs)

more fleshing out semant

some small changes + re-commit after server crash(?)
