74deb16b44 Since externally developed optional device plugins (AKA "user plugins") can be
loaded in bochsrc with "plugin_ctrl" or with their own name, the user plugin
option and the special cases for PLUGTYPE_USER are no longer needed. Updated
example patch to make it work with the latest SVN code.

38a04afe8e Some work on the bximage utility.
- The selected / detected disk image mode is now stored as a string constant to
  simplify code (same as Bochs core).

  confusion with disk image mode.
- Documentation updates.

7c8748a661 Removed stub for the "external" disk image mode. It was designed for
implementing disk image support with an external C++ class. With the new code
it's now easier to implement support for additional disk images formats, so we
don't need the old stub anymore.

aaf8c9d4e4 Removed "svga" display library designed for the obsolete Linux SVGALib.
The latest release is from 2001 and it will not work on modern Linux systems.
Parts of the SVGALib code have been moved to the Linux kernel and the X11 and
SDL libraries are using it as a video driver.

f545071b4d Added support for modifier keys in gui command mode (shift, control, alt, caps lock).
- Enter command mode with F7 key only, but no modifier pressed.
- Pressing / releasing modifier key only doesn't leave command mode.
- Changed some headerbar button access keys using modifiers (e.g. shift + c
  calls config button handler). See user doc for all supported keys.

413388dfa3 Added support for calling headerbar button handlers or perform other actions
with keypress combination. This feature is currently supported by the x and
sdl2 guis only and it can be activated with the "cmdmode" (command mode)
display library option. If enabled, pressing the F7 key enters this mode (shown
in the leftmost statusbar item) and the next keypress (except F7) is not sent
to the emmulated keyboard. If the key is supported, the associated action is
performed. Both x and sdl2 support calling the handlers of 8 headerbar buttons.
The sdl2 gui additionaly supports toggling fullscreen / windowed mode.

Supported keys:
c - Press the Copy button
e - Press the Config button
f - Toggle fullscreen mode (sdl2 only)
n - Press the Snapshot button
o - Press the Power button
p - Press the Paste button
r - Press the Reset button
s - Press the Suspend button
u - Press the User button
F7 - Send F7 keypress to emulation

TODO: add support for other guis.

79156f6b2f Added support for setting up the vnet FTP service with a different IPv4 address.
The 'vnet' networking module now uses 192.168.10.3 and bxhub is setting up the
slirp compatible IP 10.0.2.4 for additional services. Added host name "vnet-ftp"
in the DNS code to translate it to the new IP address.

Here is his original comment:

I have made several improvements in the debugger.
I have fixed several issues with proper handling of 64-bit addresses, and added support for 64 bit symbols.
I also have added several symbol lookups.

e187f3907a Removed Voodoo realtime option. Since the gui screen update timing is now
controlled by the 'vga' option and Voodoo2 CMDFIFO thread has the best
performance with realtime mode disabled, this option is now obsolete.
