  DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Version: 2.76.0000.cr Released: 24-Jun-08
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Major changes:
  * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
  The product must be installed in its default location.
  
  New platforms:
  CSHARP2005
  Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
  Support extends to allow:
  1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
  2) Build Visual Studio solutions
  Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
  
  VS2005
  Support extends to allow:
  1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
  2) Build Visual Studio solutions
  Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
  
  The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
  through a version selector:
  WIN32 Toolset - "MS.NET2005"
  CSHARP Toolset - "MS.NET2005"
  
  * Version of Make for Win32 builds
  The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
  to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
  
  * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
  The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
  - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
  conditions when building projects and solutions.
  - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
  will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
  under VS2005.
  
  Minor changes:
  * New Jats utility: dstatus
  Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
  Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
  
  * PPC_603E Toolset
  Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
  architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
  
  Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
  
  Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
  has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
  
  * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
  Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
  a minimal value of perl.
  
  Removed excessive require statements.
  
  * JATS internal utilities - xmake
  Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
  Include JATS specific files for
  1) Windows
  2) Linux
  
  JATS now includes binaries for make.
  This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
  machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
  machines.
  
  * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
  Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
  
  * JATS Environment
  Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
  to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
  
  This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
  wrapper scripts.
  
  * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
  Correct problem with location of build files.
  Spell check help and code.
