[Lightweight C++] lwc-1.0

[Stelios Xanthakis]

lwc version 1.0 is released and has lots of new goodies.

0.9 has been out for some time but it was not
announced because we were trying to port it to windows
in the meantime. No success so far. gcc/glibc are the only
cases where lwc will work for sure.


new features in both 0.9 and 1.0 are:

- unique template specializations. A step closer to real generic programming.

- some really amazing optimizations in virtual inheritance for
  derrived classes that don't add data members. use a baseclass with a
  derrived class vtable.

- 'modular' member functions that don't have 'this'.

- A regular expression to C, code generator. Not so useful but fun anyway.

- the postfix() operator.

- references, alternative ctors, etc.

- calling ctors for all the elements of arrays with a special syntax

- bugs fixed and new ones introduced.
