If BXSHARE variable is defined (or BX_SHARE_PATH set in Windows registry)
and an existing ini file is copied to this location, the gui will use it
instead of the local ini file (issue #195).
TODO: Specify the ini file priority with an addition to the 'gui_debug'
parameter of the display library option.
The current code of the USB debugger doesn't meet the requirements for compiling
with plugins present. It should not access devices directly but use the parameter
tree instead.
Don't include USB debugger resources if not present.
Renamed USB EHCI and USB UHCI folders in plugin workspace files.
Attempt fix plugin version for compiling with Bochs debugger / USB debugger.
FIXME: USB debugger doesn't link yet.
Don't generate debug information for release builds.
Fixed some of the "OutDir" settings.
TODO: review all "OutDir" settings, debug information in plugin DLLs.
This allows the Window's Environment variable BX_SHARE_PATH to be used
in paths within your bochsrc file.
Environment variable:
`BX_SHARE_PATH`
Value:
`D:\some\path`
Before:
`romimage: file=D:/some/path/bios/BIOS-bochs-latest`
After:
`romimage: file=$BXSHARE/bios/BIOS-bochs-latest`
Please note that I don't know why the parameter was initially empty. Was
this to catch a base/default parameter?
If the `lpValueName` parameter is NULL or an empty string, Windows will
return a (possibly non-existent) default value.
With this PR, we specify the actual parameter of `BX_SHARE_PATH`.
Updated AVX and FPU project files to make them compile. Added new project file
for the softfloat3e module. With the current version the softfloat3e.lib is created,
but it doesn't link with bochs.exe, so the build fails with more than 100 unresolved
externals. Manually linking on the MSVC command line using the created *.lib and *.obj
files works and bochs.exe is usable. I still haven't found out why linking from
the IDE fails.
TODO: After fixing this issue, updating the plugins workspace should be no problem.
Since GNU make and MSVC nmake need special rules for compiling this module that
causes failure with the other 'make' variant, the configure script needs to
comment out incompatible rules. Using symbols GNU_MAKE_ONLY and NMAKE_ONLY to
enable only one of the rulesets only.
Since one of the MSVC nmake rules uses curly brackets the shortcut script
.conf.win64-vcpp needs to be modified to exclude cpu/softfloat3e/Makefile
from removal of these usually unwanted characters.
The instrument stub needs this, otherwise
./configure --enable-instrumentation && make
fails because bxInstrument_c isn't declared.

- Website repository is now GIT, but still hosted on SF.
- Creating SVN snapshot section is now obsolete.
- Prepared Makefile for compiling outside of the source tree.
To implement this, softfloat3e needs a Makefile created by configure script
to set up the real SOURCE_DIR.
TODO: Fix compilation with MSVC nmake (Makefile line 278 fails).

This is the start of the Experimental USB Debugger (currently for the
Windows platform only).
Currently only supports the UHCI and xHCI controllers. The remaining
function of these two controllers and the two remaining controllers are
in the works and will be added to when time allows.
The User.dbk has been updated with (temporary) html files at
https://www.fysnet.net/bochs/user/index.html showing the process to
invoke and use the USB debugger (Section 5.8).
In its completion, this debugger will allow you to view and modify most
aspects of the specified USB controller. For example, currently you can
view and modify a TRB listed in the xHCI's Command or Event Ring. Other
aspects will be added.
I do not use and am not fluent in the use of `configure`,
`configure.ac`, and associated configuration files. I also don't use the
`gui/Makefile.in` file.
Someone that is more fluent in the way these files work, please add the
necessary items to successfully compile this PR.

This change allows to build cross-compiled Windows binary with the help
of GitHub Actions.
It can make testing and bug hunting tasks easier.
