FMSLogo Code

Implement feature #119; DLLCALL now supports calling win32 functions that have out parameters.

This is done with a new "type specifier" of "B", whose value is the number of bytes. The out parameters are appened to the return value, which happens to be a list.

Change the default font from "Courier" to "Courier New". This should have been done in version 7.0.0, when I dropped support for Windows 95, as "Courier New" is a more fully-featured font and is standard on the minimum supported operating system of Windows XP.

Make it possible to localize the default font name. This is needed because the default font "Courier" doesn't have glyphs for the Chinese script and so is unsuitable for use on a Simplified Chinese FMSLogo.

Fix Bug #489; Running a Logolib procedure onces again works when the current working directory is on a different drive than the FMSLogo executable.

The problem was that the base directory was extracted without the drive letter, so it was treated as relative to the current working directory's drive. If the user changed the working directory to a different drive, then the logolib procedure would be loaded with the correct path on the wrong drive and fail.

Fix the dependencies to permit parallel building via "make -j". This makes the precompiled header depend on version.h to guarantee that building the precompiled header will wait until the version.h is completely built.

Add a tip for people who only want to build the English version of the manual/executable/screensaver can do so. This follows from an observation made by serioadamo97 in a discussion on SourceForge.

Fix a copy&paste error that caused the Simplified Chinese version of the manual to be built incorrectly.

Add a tip about using "full" view instead of "category" view when selecting known packages to install. I found that this made it easier to find a package by name.

Use i686-w64-mingw32-strip.exe, instead of just strip.exe, since the HOWTO-BUILD.TXT instructions don't say to install a package that puts strip.exe in the PATH.

Update the build instructions based on the experience of pachleng:
* Replace references to "gmake" with "make"
* Suggest building wxWidgets on an SSD
