Log Message:
- removed MemoryDispatch() replacement; routine from ROM is now used if
  possible
- rom_patches.cpp: check for double PACK 4 resources; if only one is found,
  assume that the ROM requires an FPU and issue a warning if FPU emulation
  is turned off
- UAE CPU opcode routines no longer return the cycle count
- main_unix.cpp: pressing Ctrl-C dumps the UAE CPU state before entering mon
- sys_unix.cpp: under Linux, partition sizes are read with BLKGETSIZE instead
  of llseek()

1 V0.8 -
2 - fixed many UAE FPU bugs [Lauri Pesonen]
3 - added replacement for BlockMove() trap
4 - removed Windows sources from the source archive; a version of
5 these that actually compiles and works can be downloaded from
6 Lauri Pesonen's site
7 - removed the MemoryDispatch() replacement routine; the routine
8 in the ROM is now always used; this fixes the MacOS 8 Finder
9 copying bug and also most "unimplemented trap" errors on MacOS
10 bootup; yeah :-)
11 - a warning is issued if the ROM seems to require an FPU but FPU
12 emulation is turned off
13 - medium removal is allowed in CDROMExit()
14 - added (incomplete) emulation of 68040 instructions (CINV, CPUSH,
15 MOVE16 (Ax)+,(Ay)+, and FPU stack frames), enough to boot MacOS
16 - UAE CPU: opcode routines no longer return the cycle count
17 - extfs.cpp: fixed bug with fsResolveWDCB in fs_get_wd_info()
18 - Unix: added support for ESD audio output; merged with OSS audio
19 and put in a new "audio_oss_esd.cpp" file which is also used under

30 audio device capabilities (actual sample rate is also determined)
31 [Alexander R. Pruss]
32 - Unix/audio_oss_esd.cpp: "silence" in 8-bit mode used wrong fill
33 value (0 instead of 0x80) [Alexander R. Pruss]

45 ExitAll() in main.cpp
46 - added patches for NetBSD [Bernd Sieker]
