[Amforth-devel] Major redesign of the repository

Hi,

Today I've changed the repository structure. There are two new
directories at the top level: appl and lib. The directories blocks and
target within trunk are gone together with the makefile there.

Why these changes? amforth itself is basically useless. It needs
a few information about the environment it will run. I call this
an "appl(ication)". In this directory you can find a collection of
targets: AVR Butterfly, the Evaluation Boards and (new!) thanks to
Alexander Haucks impressive work an application to use a tv with
minimal hardware (2 resistors!).

These applications have all that's needed to build and burn the hex
files: a makefile, speed definition files (the former target/xy.asm)
and some useful forthcode specific for this environment. The build
process includes the amforth source tree like a library. It is up
to the developer to decide which version is be used. trunk
is always the lastest and newest, maybe useless version. release/x.y
is stable in a sense that it is never changed.

The lib directory contains forth code snippets that may be useful
across applications. Currently it contains some definitions for
an ANS system and some other more or less trivial words.

These changes should make life easier, feedback is
welcome!

Matthias
