NCI stuff (mostly) done

[Dan Sugalski]

Okay, I've finished the framework for the NCI stuff. The code to make
storing into PMCs, and using strings, needs finishing, but the rest
is in there. (Something went awry with the checkin, so it might not
have been noted properly)

Please be aware that the code in build_nativecall.pl is well past
horrendous, but it does work. :)

Okay, fetches from strings, fetches from PMCs and stores to PMCs now
work. This should be enough to get most external interfaces working.

Note that to add in signatures involves editing call_list.txt. I
considered just permuting the hell out of the possibilities, but that
got really big really fast. Plus from what I can see, 99% of them'd
never get used anyway. As we come across libraries that we don't have
a signature for, we should add them to call_list.txt. (At least until
we can build the call headers ourselves)
