ecx 1.4.7 (v49) notes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Librarymode bugfixes

- 68K codegeneration fixes

- multiple assignment was not allowed as substatement, fixed.

- 68K and PPC registerallocation works again.
  Try with REG=-1, FREG=-1, or just OPTI.
  -1 tells ECX to compute for each procedure the optimal nr of registers.

- startupcode did not return returnvalue from main() to shell, fixed.

- unreferenced check could complaine about vars that WAS referenced, fixed.

- now easier to make MOS PPC ELF library with 68K ABI
  => OPT POWERPC ; LIBRARY M68K name,ver,rev,idstr IS ...
  thanks go to Gelb

- More than 8 PPC args could cause problems, fixed.

- NEW a,b,c,.. END a,b,c,..  didnt work, fixed.

- builtin preprocessor symbol "ECX_VERSION" somehow got renamed, fixed it back.

- PPC Fcos() fixed again. source/fract/cosmic_deluxe.e works again.

- ENPROC/RETURN without returnvalues now defaults to returning NIL. thx gelb.

- OPT REG=-1 did not work, fixed. thx gelb.

- OPT FREG was not implemented, done.

- Added OPT EXENAME = 'newname'. Use it to give resulting exe/lib another filename. thx Gelb

- Improved commandline DEFINE/S. Multiple macros may be separated with ";".  thx Gelb

- Might have fixed the sometimes_a_bit_off error linenumber. I hope :)

- NOTE: 68k librarymode have problems again, working on it. (non OPT POWERPC)
