Hi Terry.

A while back, I sent Stephane the changes (since integrated) to make
the Yaesu CAT support more table driven for their higher end rigs.
This mainly consisted of the big table in newcat.c and the command
validation functions.  This was supposed to be in preparation for
doing the 950 support, but I ran out of time :-(  Thank you for
completing it.

When I did this work, I noticed there was a fair amount of similarity
in the CAT commands for the 450, 950, 2000, and 9000.  Given this, I
would expect the 5000 to also have a similar set.  So I would expect
it to be fairly easy to get the basic functions working.

But it will be good to get an actual manual to confirm the supported
commands.
