Add a new configure option, ---with-pkgversion, that allows those packaging
Mercury to include additional version information specific to their package in
the output of mmc --version etc.
Omit version and copyright information from the short usage messages for mmc, mprof
and mcov. The result is less cluttered and more direct.
Omit version information from the long usage (i.e. --help) message for the
above programs. This is to save space on the first line of the output and also
brings the man pages for mmc, mprof and mcov into line with the other man
pages, which do *not* have version information in their NAME section.
configure.ac:
Add the new --with-pkgversion option.
runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
runtime/mercury_dotnet.cs.in:
java/runtime/Constants.java.in:
Define a constant for the package version.
library/library.m:
Add the function package_version/0, which returns the package
version string.
compiler/handle_options.m:
profiler/mercury_profile.m:
slice/mcov.m:
Include a non-empty package version in the output of --version.
Make the above changes to the short and long usage messages.
Add an XXX about mprof's short usage message.
Discussion of these changes can be found on the Mercury developers
mailing list archives from June 2018.
COPYING.LIB:
Add a special linking exception to the LGPL.
*:
Update references to COPYING.LIB.
Clean up some minor errors that have accumulated in copyright
messages.

Put all Mercury-generated Java classes into the package `jmercury' and
runtime classes into `jmercury.runtime'. The Mercury module hierarchy is
not reflected in the package name. We name sub-module classes using
their fully-qualified module names with `__' between components, e.g.
`bit_buffer.read' produces `class bit_buffer__read'.
As all generated Java code is in the same package we don't need to package
qualify identifiers, and we don't need the hack to avoid clashing package
and class names. It also makes it easier to write Java foreign code because
generated Java class names are easier to predict from Mercury module names.
The package names are not `mercury' and `mercury.runtime' because on
case-insensitive file systems we may end up with a `mercury' directory
that could be confused with the `Mercury' directory.
compiler/java_names.m:
Delete code related to mangling package names.
Remove the extra `mercury' prefix added to standard library module
names, as it is redundant with `jmercury'.
Change runtime package name.
compiler/mlds_to_java.m:
Make generated code follow the new packaging scheme.
Don't automatically import all runtime classes. It doesn't seem
necessary.
Update for new packaging scheme.
compiler/file_names.m:
Fix Java file paths for the new packaging scheme.

compiler/mlds.m:
Add some XXXs to be fixed later.

Update for new packaging scheme.
Let mmake --use-mmc-make work in this directory.

Implement library version for Java.
library/library.m:
Implement library__version in Java.
java/runtime/Constants.java.in:
File from which Constants.java is to be generated, which is the source
for a class to hold mercury-related constants, such as the library
version.
configure.in:
Added java/runtime/Constants.java to the list of files to generate.
