Retro 11.0, Beta 5

[crc]

The fifth beta release of Retro 11.0 is now out.

This continues work on refining the libraries, documentation, and
examples and also brings a couple of small improvements to the core
image.

Please note that the core language is now frozen and can be viewed as
a stable target. I will not be making any further changes to the core
language apart from bug fixes and possible optimizations. All existing
functionality in the core language will continue to work throughout
the 11.0 release life cycle. (The libraries are still evolving, but
should be ready to freeze in a couple of weeks for the first release
candidate).

As with the other betas, this includes the current Ngaro
implementations, full source code, and the various libraries,
documentation, and examples that currently exist. A top-level Makefile
is included that will build and setup the C, Python, or Ruby
implementations, a copy of the image, and a symlink for the library
files.

Thoughts, comments, and bug reports are welcome.
