This causes builds to happen in sorted order rather than in
declaration order. This gets annoying when you make a global change
and then you notice that the files that are being compiled are jumping
around the directory hierarchy.
Get rid of misc.py and just stick misc things in __init__.py
Move utility functions out of SCons files and into m5.util
Move utility type stuff from m5/__init__.py to m5/util/__init__.py
Remove buildEnv from m5 and allow access only from m5.defines
Rename AddToPath to addToPath while we're moving it to m5.util
Rename read_command to readCommand while we're moving it
Rename compare_versions to compareVersions while we're moving it.

Start by turning all of the *Source functions into classes
so we can do more calculations and more easily collect the data we need.
Add parameters to the new classes for indicating what sorts of flags the
objects should be compiled with so we can allow certain files to be compiled
without Werror for example.
This allows me to clean things up so we are up to date with respect to
deprecated features. There are many features scheduled for permanent failure
in scons 2.0 and 0.98.1 provides the most compatability for that. It
also paves the way for some nice new features that I will add soon
The current EXTRAS will fail if the top level directory pointed to by EXTRAS
has a SConscript file in it. We allow this by including the directory name
of the EXTRA in the build directory which prevents a clash between
src/SConscript and extra/SConscript. Maintain compatibility with older uses
of EXTRAS by adding a -I for each top level extra directory.
Make them easier to express by only having the cxx_type parameter which
has the full namespace name, and drop the cxx_namespace thing.
Add support for multiple levels of namespace.
I've done a few things here. First, I invoke the script a little bit
differently so that pdb doesn't get confused. Second, I've stored the
actual filename in the module's __file__ so that pdb can find the
source file on your machine.
Targets look like libm5_debug.so. This target can be dynamically
linked into another C++ program and provide just about all of the M5
features. Additionally, this library is a standalone module that can
be imported into python with an "import libm5_debug" type command
line.
This should allow m5 to be more easily embedded into other simulators.
The m5 binary adds a simple main function which then calls into the m5
libarary to start the simulation. In order to make this work
correctly, it was necessary embed python code directly into the
library instead of the zipfile hack. This is because you can't just
append the zipfile to the end of a library the way you can a binary.
As a result, Python files that are part of the m5 simulator are now
compile, marshalled, compressed, and then inserted into the library's
data section with a certain symbol name. Additionally, a new Importer
was needed to allow python to get at the embedded python code.
Small additional changes include:
- Get rid of the PYTHONHOME stuff since I don't think anyone ever used
it, and it just confuses things. Easy enough to add back if I'm wrong.
- Create a few new functions that are key to initializing and running
the simulator: initSignals, initM5Python, m5Main.
The original code for creating libm5 was inspired by a patch Michael
Adler, though the code here was done by me.
I decided that separating some of the scons code into generate.py was
just a bad idea because it caused the dependency system to get all
messed up. If separation is the right way to go in the future, we
should probably use the sconscript mechanism, not the mechanism that I
just removed.
Requires pushing source files down into 'src' subdir relative
to directory listed in EXTRAS.

and python code into m5 to allow swig an python code to
easily added by any SConscript instead of just the one in
src/python. This provides SwigSource and PySource for
adding new files to m5 (similar to Source for C++). Also
provides SimObject for including files that contain SimObject
information and build the m5.objects __init__.py file.

automatic. The point is that now a subdirectory can be added
to the build process just by creating a SConscript file in it.
The process has two passes. On the first pass, all subdirs
of the root of the tree are searched for SConsopts files.
These files contain any command line options that ought to be
added for a particular subdirectory. On the second pass,
all subdirs of the src directory are searched for SConscript
files. These files describe how to build any given subdirectory.
I have added a Source() function. Any file (relative to the
directory in which the SConscript resides) passed to that
function is added to the build. Clean up everything to take
advantage of Source().
function is added to the list of files to be built.

We don't currently use randomness much, so I didn't go too far, but
in the future, we may want to actually expose the random number values
themselves to python. For now, I'll at least let you seed it.
