qcheck is an autotesting tool similar to Haskell's Quickcheck.
A collection of web pages are written as a user guide for quickcheck.
It covers the syntax and features supported by the current version of
quickcheck.

Update a few files in preparation for release 0.8.
NEWS:
Put the main sections in reverse chronological order,
i.e. 0.8, then 0.7.3, then 0.7.2, rather than 0.7.2, 0.7.3, then 0.8.
This is better since the changes in 0.7.2 and 0.7.3 are old news.
Also a few minor changes, such as deleting the XXX about
`pragma import' and nondet `pragma c_code' not being documented.
RELEASE_NOTES:
Update for 0.8.
configure.in:
Update the test for recently-added features to test for
`promise_only_solution'. That should be recent enough
to ensure that we can bootstrap.
Estimated hours taken: 2
Localize the definition of the version number into a single file.
Automate the building of releases, including daily "rotd"
(release-of-the-day) releases.

New file, defines the version number.
Also document the general scheme for assigning version numbers.
Mmake.common.in:
Add `include VERSION'.

in multiple places.

Change things so that README and INSTALL are automatically
generated from .README.in and .INSTALL.in respectively, using
the version number defined in VERSION.
BUGS:
Remove an unnecessary reference to the version number.
RELEASE_NOTES:
Change this file so that the version number is only mentioned
in one place. Bump the version number here to 0.7 in preparation
for the next release.
library/Mmakefile:
library/library.m:
library/library.m.in:
Change things so that library.m is automatically generated from
library.m.in using the version number in VERSION.
Also change it so that library__version says which architecture
it was configured for.
tools/test_mercury:
Override the version specified in the VERSION file in the CVS
repository with either `rotd-YYYY-MM-DD' or (when making a release)
with a specified $RELEASE_VERSION.
When running on murliboobo, if the version built passes all its
tests, copy it to the /pub/mercury/beta-releases directory on
ftp://turiel.cs.mu.oz.au.
compiler/notes/release_checklist.m:
Change the release checklist to say that you only need to
update the version number in VERSION rather than in 6 different
places. Also change the procedure for building the final
tar file to reflect the above changes to the `test_mercury' script.
