[Lightweight C++] lwc-0.7

[Stelios Xanthakis]

The next version, 0.7 is out and it can be downloaded from 
the usual place:

        http://students.ceid.upatras.gr/~sxanth/lwc

Lots of new things in there. Most noticable are:


- Linkonce sections of the linker are used. This is very
important as now a virtual table instance is created in
each object file. These are collapsed during linking.

- A cool new feature called "auto virtual functions".
These are automatically redeclared by the lwc compiler
in each derrived class if the programmer does not do so.
As a result, virtual calls in these functions, become
direct member calls.

- Exceptions: basic exception functionality using
setcontext/getcontext. No cleanup of destructors though.

- Several other mini features.

- Three important bugfixes. Two embarassing segfaults and
one case where invalid code was generated.

And probably new bugs were introduced too :(
