cacaovm 0.96 released

This is a bug-fix and feature enhancement release. Here is a short
list of the most important changes:

* New tasuki lock implementation resolves deadlock problems on
multi-processor machines.
* Handle Miranda-methods properly.
* try-catch line number problem with jikes fixed.
* Added support for libjvm.so (including invocation API).
* Stripped down object code size of code generators.
* Increased default maximum heap size to 128MB and decreased default
stack size to 64kB.
* Cleaned up internal handling of Unicode strings.
* Fixed getResources of bootstrap classloader.
* Correct handling of boot packages (provided glibj.zip contains a
jar index).
* Exception handling fixes (don't allocate memory on Java heap).
* x86_64's code generator generates now RISC-style code.
* Green threads implementation removed.
* Semaphore implementation for Darwin (taken from Boehm).
* sem_wait interrupted by signal fixed.
* Overflow in Object.wait() (partially) fixed (caused busy waiting
in JOnAS).
* Store JNI global refs in native hashtable instead of Java
hashtable (bootstrap problem).
* Argument passing fixed for powerpc-linux (asm_vm_call_method).

This release supports GNU Classpath 0.91+ and was tested on some
platforms against GNU Classpath 0.91.

This release fixes the remaining dead-lock bugs seen on SMP machines
when running Eclipse. Additionally, CACAO is now able to run JOnAS.
It's possible to build JOnAS from CVS with a free Java stack and run
the JOnAS testsuite against it.

CACAO uses GNU Classpath as Java core library and supports upstream
releases or CVS snapshots. The proper ./configure options for GNU
Classpath are:

--with-classpath-prefix=<dir>
--with-classpath-libdir=<dir>
--with-classpath-includedir=<dir>

Currently supported JIT compiler architectures are:

* alpha-unknown-freebsd5.4
* alpha-unknown-linux-gnu
* arm-unknown-linux-gnu
* i386-unknown-freebsd5.3
* i686-pc-linux-gnu
* mips-sgi-irix6.5
* mips-unknown-linux-gnu
* powerpc-apple-darwin7.2.0
* powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
* x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Additionally supported interpreter architectures are:

* powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu
