merging back changes from blume_devel_v110_26_2

Tools cleaned up

relative osstrings; groupsOf

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

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

small change to SafeIO; cosmetic fix of master-slave interrupt handling; doc

more robust(?) path name protocol

prepared for switching to rb-trees (once they work correctly)

first attempt at some documentation; empty lines in pathconfig files ignored

relative anchors expanded

some pathconfig oddness rectified

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

no more canonicalization in AbsPath

bfc_fetch_xxx bogosity eliminated; more fleshing out of CM

better pathconfig interface + some cosmetic improvements

more bugs/problems eliminated from the list...

handling of cwd corrected

more inching towards a usable system

bootstrapping works now (mainly); PathConfig code cleaned majorly

basic bootstrapping is now working

more work towards being able to bootstrap

a host of changes related mostly to pathname handling

various changes in pathname handling etc.

more elaborate pathname handling (for the sake of bt-compiler)

RTPID and BINLIST written

error flag in source cancelled; IO vs. interrupts handled more robustly

groups not stabilizable by themselves (sucked into surrounding stable library)

stablefile format enhanced; bootstrap compiler shows signs of life

first steps towards bootstrap compiler

FilenamePolicy implemented

PathConfig implemented

some cleanup; pathconfig modes added; grammar modified (privileges)

stabilization code working but only flimsily hooked up

stabilization code completed -- still needs to be hooked up

some more fiddling with the stablefile pickler

first steps towards stabilize (not finished yet)

persistent state/error handling bogosity fixed

skeleton type simplified; improved conversion, etc.

more towards dependency analysis

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)

implementation of Tools mechanism added

semant/members.sml should be fairly complete now

started adding dependency graph stuff

front end completed (modulo bugs)

more fleshing out semant

laid foundations for lexer, parser, basic path handling
