The entire infrastructure relied on an ACK feature, and as such, it
has been broken for years now, with no easy way to repair it.

This library provides new abstractions for the upper (VFS) side of
file system services, and should be used for all file system service
implementations from now on. It provides the following functionality:
- a function call table abstraction, hiding the details of the
VFS-FS protocol with simple parameters;
- a (currently limited) number of per-function steps required for
all file system implementations, such as copying in and out path
names and result buffers;
- a default implementation for multicomponent path lookups, such
that the file system merely has to implement resolution of single
components at a time;
- an abstraction for copying data from and to the file system, which
allows transparent intraprocess copying as required for the lookup
implementation;
- a set of functions to simplify getdents implementations.
The message loop provided by the library is currently for use by
single-threaded file system implementations only. Multithreaded file
system services may use the more low-level message processing
functionality.
Protocol-level optimizations such as including names in protocol
messages may be hidden entirely in this library. In addition, in the
future, the lookup implementation may be replaced by a single-
component lookup VFS/FS protocol request as part of a VFS name cache
implementation; this, too, can be hidden entirely in this library.

It is currently too broken to be of any use anyway. Fixes are pending,
which is why this patch is intended to be reverted before those are
merged.
For the time being, the following tools can be used to access cdroms:
- isodir
- isoinfo
- isoread
- writeisofs

/etc/profile enables by default tabcompletion, as well as emacs mode,
in order to keep the old MINIX ash behavior.
Note: The shell now refuses to source a script without a relative or
absolute path.
This means:
- '. myscript.sh' fails, while
- '. ./myscript.sh' succeeds

. get rid of includes in libcompat_minix:
. move configfile.h to minix/include/
. all others are unneeded as they point to other files
. merge the .c files with libc

This script runs a subset of all the available test. This is aimed at
first time users which might be surprised by the warnings and time the
full test suite takes.
This runs all the tests which in case of success only print "ok" and
don't take too much time to run, independently of the network
connectivity.

The bin user doesn't need an actual home folder to run the tests. As
such this account should not be used in 'su - bin'. To be noted that
'su bin' still works as expected, and allow to run the minix test set
as usual.

We used to have an account "ast" as a token to Andrew S. Tannebaum,
the creator of MINIX. The account was disable by default, with no
possible way to login.
It seems it generates more confusion than it is worth, so this removes it.
The default skeleton user profile is still stored into /etc/ast instead
of the usual /etc/skel.

This concerns all services, a.k.a drivers, filesystem drivers, network
(inet, lwip, uds) servers, and the system servers.

This library is built just so that something is present in
/usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1. This is needed for dynamically programs built
with gcc, which might reference that library at runtime (i.e. all pkgsrc
packages). The necessary symbols are in libc however, so when built on a
clang-only system, so an empty library is a working stopgap.
In case of installation of both clang and GCC, we want to be able to
switch which one is the default by adapting the cc, c++ & cpp symlinks.
The default behaviour implemented here is to prefer clang over gcc if
they are both installed.
