- move DOC-linux.html into the docbook in a section called "Quick Start for

  that did not fit into the docbook are now in doc/docbook/misc.txt.
- put vga.pcf into INSTALL_LIST_X11 so that it's only installed when
  you configure with --with-x11.
- transfer section on VGA font installation from docs-html into user guide
- remove RCS id from screen shots within user guide, since they are changed
  to the revision info of user.dbk.

1893bf78e1 Disassembly now picks up the current 16/32 bit mode from CS register
by default.

Rearranged the output to make the output instructions always appear in
the same column, which makes them considerably easier to read.

I have *not* done the physical address display changes -- plan to do
that separately.

5e520261db Add plugin support to Bochs by merging all the changes from the
BRANCH_PLUGINS branch!

Authors:
  Bryce Denney
  Christophe Bothamy
  Kevin Lawton (we grabbed a lot of plugin code from plex86)
Testing help from:
  Volker Ruppert
  Don Becker (Psyon)
  Jeremy Parsons (Br'fin)

The change log is too long to paste in here.  To read the change log, do
  cvs log patches/patch.final-from-BRANCH_PLUGINS.gz

All the changes and a detailed description are contained in a patch
called patch.final-from-BRANCH_PLUGINS.gz.  To look at the complete
patch, do
  cvs upd -r1.1 patches/patch.final-from-BRANCH_PLUGINS.gz

Then you will have a local copy of the patch, which you can gunzip and
play with however you want.

56952f9132 - parport1 enable/disable support added. Now you can control the presence of
parport1 with the new option "enabled". The old option "enable" only
  controlled the output. The parport1 is enabled with no output by default.
  Changes:
  * bochrc option "enable" replaced by "enabled"
  * parport option "Oenable" replaced by "Opresent"
  * bx_parport_options par1 and par2 replaced by an array par[2]
  * initialize parport1 resources only when enabled
  * renamed variable "parport_init_list" to "par_ser_init_list" since it
    contains parport and serial options
  * documentation and bochsrc updates
- the parport variables "output" and "initmode" now belong to the bx_par_t
  structure
- TODO: add parport2 (disabled by default), parport detection in the bios

1c135efb3c - converted Christophe's keymap instructions to docbook, added to user
manual.  Minor updates are still needed since I changed the format
  of his keymap file after he wrote these docs.

27dad49a2c - update compile instructions for lots of platforms. Now that configure
script can detect platforms, the standard "configure&&make" should
  work on all platforms (that's the goal at least).  I mention
  the .conf.* script for each platform as well, even though it is no
  longer required.
