[Pilot-Unix] ANN: prc-tools 0.5.1 alpha 3 available

[John Marshall <JMarshall@enterprise.net>]

I've finally got the new version of prc-tools that I've been working on
back into a state in which it is actually capable of generating a working
.prc file.  The patches and building instructions are (for now) at:

	http://homepages.enterprise.net/jmarshall/palmos/

In terms of the questions which get asked agonisingly often over at
pilot.programmer.gcc, the major new features are:

* support for multiple code resources within an application.  (No more
  32K or 64K code size limits.)

* No need for CALLBACK_PROLOGUE workarounds in applications.

* When the linker means "unknown symbol" it says so, instead of spouting
  some misleading rubbish about "DISP16 truncated to fit".

The compiler patches are pretty much complete, I think.  There is still
work to be done on the support stuff -- startup code, build-prc, etc --
and building those is not very streamlined at the moment, I'm afraid.

I've also been working on some documentation for prc-tools, and a (sketchy)
version of that will be available at the above URL presently too.
