README.CSharp:
README.Java:
The foreign_proc examples here would result in a purity error.
Fix them so they do not.
README.Cygwin:
Update URLs.
README.AIX:
Delete the bit about the -ansi option; we no longer pass that to
the C compiler anyway.
README.MinGW:
README.MS-VisualC:
Fix grammar.
README.md:
Remove references to lcc (hasn't been tried with Mercury for years)
and the old .NET backend from README.md (likely to cause confusion
more than anything else).
README.md:
README.IRIX-5:
Remove the references to IRIX-5 (including the file README.IRIX-5)
completely. IRIX is pretty much dead, this documentation is pretty
much clutter at this point.
README.AIX:
README.HPUX:
Replacing the contents of README.HPUX and README.AIX to say that
Mercury (to the best of our knowledge) hasn't been tried with recent
versions of those OSs.

Remove the RM_C mmake variable, which controlled whether the intermediate
`.c' files were removed (now they never are).
The implementation was buggy (it didn't work with parallel makes), and
made it difficult to avoid always recompiling the `.c' file with smart
recompilation.

Remove references to RM_C, DEFAULT_RM_C and LIBRARY_RM_C.
compiler/modules.m:
The `.o' and `.pic_o' file now depends only on the `.c' file,
not on everthing the `.c' file depends on. The extra dependencies
were only needed because the intermediate `.c' file could
be removed by RM_C. This change is needed to avoid recompiling
unchanged `.c' files with smart recompilation.

Various changes to the README files, in preparation for the next release.
.README.in:
Update version numbers and copyright dates.
Update the list of README.* files.
README.HPUX:
New file.
README.AIX:
Update to reflect recent bug fix.
README.Linux:
Delete an obsolete patch at the end of this file;
the text describing this patch had been removed already.
README.MS-Windows:
Mention that we haven't tested it on Windows 98.
NEWS:
We've updated to Boehm GC version 4.13alpha2.
extras/README:
Add descriptions of each subdirectory.
Estimated hours taken: 0.25
mercury/README.AIX:
You don't need to do as many special things for AIX as you
had to in 0.5.1, since most of them have been put into the
main source code now.
