- Update to gforth 0.7.0.
  Requirements:
    At run-time requires libtool and gcc (for the libcc C interface) and
			 gdb (for the disassembler (SEE)) on some platforms.
  Installation:
    support for DESTDIR, POST_INSTALL, INSTALL_SCRIPT
    automatic performance tuning on building (--enable-force-reg unnecessary)
    report performance and functionality problems at end of "make"
    autogen.sh now exists
  License:
    Changed to GPLv3
  Bug fixes
    Now works with address-space randomization.
    The single-step debugger works again in some engines.
    Many others.
  Ports:
    AMD64, ARM, IA-64 (Itanium): better performance
    PPC, PPC64: disassembler and assembler
    Gforth EC: R8C, 4stack, misc, 8086 work
    MacOS X: better support
  Invocation:
    New flags --ignore-async-signals, --vm-commit (default overcommit)
	      --print-sequences
  Forth 200x:
    X:extension-query: produce true for all implemented extensions
    X:required REQUIRED etc. (not new)
    X:defined: [DEFINED] and [UNDEFINED]
    X:parse-name: PARSE-NAME (new name)
    X:deferred: deferred words (new: DEFER@ DEFER! ACTION-OF)
    X:structures: +FIELD FIELD: FFIELD: CFIELD: etc.
    X:ekeys: new: EKEY>FKEY K-SHIFT-MASK K-CTRL-MASK K-ALT-MASK K-F1...K-F12
    X:fp-stack (not new)
    X:number-prefixes (partially new, see below)
  Number prefixes:
    0x is a hex prefix: 0xff and 0XfF now produces (decimal) 255
    # is a decimal prefix: #10 now produces (decimal) 10
    Signs after the number prefix are now accepted, e.g, #-50.
    ' now only handles a single (x)char: 'ab is no longer accepted, 
					 'a' now produces (decimal) 97
  Unicode support (currently supports only uniform encoding):
    added xchars words for dealing with variable-width multi-byte characters
    provide 8bit (ISO Latin 1) and UTF-8 support for xchars
  New words:
    \C C-FUNCTION C-LIBRARY END-C-LIBRARY C-LIBRARY-NAME (libcc C interface)
    LIB-ERROR (complements OPEN-LIB)
    OUTFILE-EXECUTE INFILE-EXECUTE BASE-EXECUTE (limited change of global state)
    16-bit and 32-bit memory acces: UW@ UL@ SW@ SL@ W! L! W@ L@ /W /L
    NEXT-ARG SHIFT-ARGS (OS command-line argument processing)
    NOTHROW (for backtrace control)
    FTRUNC FMOD (undocumented)
    SEE-CODE SEE-CODE-RANGE (show generated dynamic native code)
  Improvements/changes of existing words:
    S\", .\" now support \l, \m, \z, and limits hex and octal character specs.
    OPEN-FILE with W/O no longer creates or truncates files (no compat. file)
    OPEN-LIB now understands ~ at the start, like OPEN-FILE.
    TRY...ENDTRY changed significantly, compatibility files available (see docs).
    The disassembler (DISCODE) can now use gdb to disassemble code
    Uninitialized defered words now give a warning when executed
    Division is floored (disable with "configure --enable-force-cdiv")
    Gforth (not gforth-fast) reports division by zero and overflow on division
      on all platforms.
  Newly documented words:
    S>NUMBER? S>UNUMBER?
    EKEY keypress names: K-LEFT  K-RIGHT K-UP K-DOWN K-HOME K-END K-PRIOR
      K-NEXT K-INSERT K-DELETE
    CLEARSTACKS
    FORM
  Environment variable GFORTHSYSTEMPREFIX (used by word SYSTEM and friends)
  C interface:
    exported symbols now start with "gforth_" (for referencing them from C code)
    libcc C function call interface (requires libtool and gcc at run-time)
      alternative: undocumented libffi-based interface
  Libraries:
    depth-changes.fs: report stack depth changes during interpretation
    ans-report.fs now reports CfV extensions
    fsl-util.4th: FSL support files (undocumented)
    regexp.fs for regular expressions (undocumented)
    complex.fs for complex numbers (undocumented)
    fft.fs for Fast Fourier Transform (undocumented)
    wf.fs, a Wiki implementation (undocumented)
    httpd.fs, a web server (undocumented)
    status.fs, show interpreter status in separate xterm (undocumented)
    profile.fs for profiling (undocumented, incomplete)
    endtry-iferror.fs, recover-endtry.fs to ease the TRY change transition
    test/tester.fs: Now works with FP numbers (undocumented)
    test/ttester.fs: Version of tester.fs with improved interface (T{...}T).
   compat library:
    compat/execute-parsing.fs
  Speed improvements:
    automatic performance tuning on building
    static stack caching (good speedup on PPC)
    mixed-precision division is now faster
    support for int128 types on AMD64
    workarounds for gcc performance bugs (in particular, PR 15242)
    branch target alignment (good speedup on Alpha).
