Re: patches - and 1.3.0 release

[David Sugar]

I do not know if I have seen the other patches offhand, but this one I 
have added for the 1.3 release.

Since I mentioned it, it is probably worth noting what is in 1.3.0 at 
this time:

first, buffer has been moved from ccext2 to ccgnu2.  Second, the various 
complex and system specific semaphore implimentations have been stripped 
out and a single posix semaphore implimention built around conditional 
is now being used.  This also means that semaphore wait can now be a 
timed operation and improves compatibility between w32 and posix 
semaphore behavior.  Speaking of w32, we are back to using w32 critical 
sections for mutex locking speed.
Another change is that we have added ZStream classes.

Also a word on 64 bit interface support in 1.3; All classes that offer 
or operate on sized memory objects now use size_t for 64 bit cleanness 
at the interface level.  This does not nessisarly mean Common C++ 
performs 64 bit clean operations or uses 64 bit specific system 
functions in all cases yet internally, but it does assure that 
interfacing to lower level functions and system calls through Common C++ 
at least does not immediately downcast 64 bit parameters even before 
calling these functions.  Going forward as the internal structure of 
Common C++ is changed to use 64 bit clean system library functions, the 
external interface that Common C++ provides will not need to be further 
modified for 64 bit support as well.
