Building the POSIX binding using mmc --make by default and just have mmake
forward its work to that. Using mmc --make means things like library grade
exclusions will work properly.
Exclude non-C grades from the grade set in which to install the POSIX binding.
Shift a POSIX binding sample into the samples subdirectory.

Don't ignore the purity subdir. This ignore must have been left over

and it ignored an executable, not a directory.

Deprecate string.substring, string.foldl_substring, etc. in favour of
new procedures named string.between, string.foldl_between, etc.
The "between" procedures take a pair of [Start, End) endpoints instead
of Start, Count arguments. The reasons for this change are:
- the "between" procedures are more convenient
- "between" should be unambiguous. You can guess that it takes an End
argument instead of a Count argument without looking up the manual.
- Count arguments necessarily counted code units, but when working with
non-ASCII strings, almost the only way that the values would be arrived at
is by substracting one end point from another.
- it paves the way for a potential change to replace string offsets with an
abstract type. We cannot do that if users regularly have to perform a
subtraction between two offsets.
library/string.m:
Add string.foldl_between, string.foldl2_between,
string.foldr_between, string.between.
Deprecate the old substring names.
Replace string.substring_by_codepoint by string.between_codepoints.

Convert the POSIX binding to use the standard library's bitmap module for
storing byte-oriented data rather than defining a separate module for doing
so. (The standard library's facilities for dealing with such data are much
more extensive than what they were when the binding was originally written.)

Use bitmaps in place of the text/0 type.

Delete these modules; they are no longer needed.

Don't install the extra header.

Add a minimal server program that accepts and passes through requests
to mdprof. It's useful when you want to view deep profiling data
without configuring and running a proper web server.
