just updating some comment...

some pathconfig oddness rectified

fixed AutoDir (handling of ..)

unnecessary files deleted; some files moved

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

no more canonicalization in AbsPath

traversals separated (private state should now also work with autoloader)

backed out of thin traversals

thin traversals implemented (whew!)

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

parse caching limit; various control flags exported

more inching towards a usable system

transfer of state during stabilization implemented

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

listfile generation fixed

more work towards being able to bootstrap

error message improved; handling of corenv corrected in btcompile

autoloading added

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)

very serious (and stupid!) performance bug killed

RTPID and BINLIST written

wrapped privileges cleaned up; Overview updated

IO.Io exception handled in stabilize.sml

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

installation instructions; keep_going off by default

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

Overview added

missing copyright notices added

SymVal implemented

build-initdg now reports binpaths and not sourcepaths

some more tweaking of the bt compiler (still needs more, but basically works)

stablefile format enhanced; bootstrap compiler shows signs of life

bootstrap compiler half-working

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

switched from mkprimperv.sml to build-initdg.sml (which is a lot cleaner)

a bit more flesh on the bootstrap skeleton

first steps towards bootstrap compiler

more flexible implementation of Primitive module

FilenamePolicy implemented

PathConfig implemented

value cache implemented correctly

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

some explanatory comments added to link.sml

a few types cleaned up; adding bindings to toplevel implemented

Test tree added to repository

keep_going works now (apparently)

resynchronization facility added (#line)

usage of privileges reported (only a hack)

stabilization code properly hooked in

stabilization code working but only flimsily hooked up

stabilization code completed -- still needs to be hooked up

simplified da-env

more stabilization code (still not done, though)

stabilization code mostly done

some more fiddling with the stablefile pickler

first steps towards stabilize (not finished yet)

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

bug in handling of private flag fixed

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

finished recomp.sml; now only need to put the pieces together

more flesh added to recompile/exec

persistent state/error handling bogosity fixed

improved generated skeletons; copyright notice

most of recompilation/execution machinery in place

first steps towards make/recompile and stable libraries

skeleton code rewritten (should contain no more code inherited from SC)

new attempt at Skeletons (not quite satisfactory yet)

skeleton type simplified; improved conversion, etc.

full dependency analysis (hopefully) in place

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

GroupReg added; bad error msg behavior fixed

some cosmetic changes to error reporting

dependency analysis (hopefully) done; some simplifying changes to skeletons

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)

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

implementation of Tools mechanism added

dummy.sml committed (for now)

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(?)

laid foundations for lexer, parser, basic path handling

Initial revision
