Hello,
after a few months of low activity due to the university, i finally
released the new version of Syx. Release notes follows.

This version includes yet more features, compatibility with other build
systems on different platforms, important bug fixes and a great
performance boost, which will be continued in next releases. A list of
the major changes:

* MSVC support has been improved
* ANSI C and strict ISO compilation
* External declarations for C++
* The ST runtime compiler has been replaced with a C-side
compiler
* Class creation issues from ST has been fixed
* Tracebacks and error reporting have been improved
* Install desktop files on GNU/Linux platforms
* Support for the GNU building system has been added as an
alternative to SCons
* Build under MSYS has been fixed
* Block ensuring has been fixed
* New examples have been added such as web code browser and a
simple GTK+ application
* Dictionary rehashing has been fixed
* A better implementation of OrderedCollection? has been enhanced
* Internal profiling and gprof support at compile-time
* Created one stack per process against one stack per context

This version breaks the API for creating new processes and contexts from
C and ST too.
Thanks for anyone who contributed to Syx.
