Changelog for loki:
- added command aliases (match with * [sorry, regex lib isn't available
everywhere yet], replace with {1}+)
- added command hotkeys
- added window geometry saving
- added save state support
- added power/reset commands
- added an input manager, so you can remap keys (limiting it to the
keyboard for now though)
The combination of aliases and hotkeys really makes things shine. Save
states will temporarily disable your breakpoints (run/step are
technically temporary breakpoints) so as to ensure the state is captured
at a good time. In practice, this should pose about as much of a problem
as higan desyncing and breaking when capturing states ... should be
exceedingly rare to ever even notice this behavior at all, with 99.9% of
state captures happening in half an instruction boundary. But still,
keep it in mind, as you might see the CPU step one instruction ahead.
Tracing and usage map functionality is still enabled during state
synchronization.
So at this point, I have 100% of the essential stuff in. All that's left
now is to add polish / wishlist features like bass and mosaic
integration.

Changelog:
- target-ethos/ is now target-higan/ (will unfortunately screw up diffs
pretty badly at this point.)
- had a serious bug in nall::optional<T>::operator=, which is now fixed.
- added tracer (no masking just yet, I need to write a nall::bitvector
class because I don't want to hard-code those anymore.)
- added usage logging (keep track of RWX/EP states for all bus
addresses.)
- added read/write to poke at memory (hex also works for reading, but
this one can poke at MMIO regs and is for one address only.)
- added both run.for (# of instructions) and run.to (program counter
address.)
- added read/write/execute breakpoints with counters for a given
address, and with an optional compare byte (for read/write modes.)
About the only major things left now for loki is support for trace
masking, memory export, and VRAM/OAM/CGRAM access.
For phoenix/Console, I really need to add a history to up+down arrows,
and I should support left/right insert-at.

Changelog:
- ethos: use nall::programpath() instead of realpath(argv[0]) to get
executable path
- loki: add presentation window
- loki: add terminal window
- loki: add interface to emulation core
- loki: add ruby
- loki: add enough support to run games and save data on exit
- load game folders via command-line (or drop folder onto binary),
use "r" to start, "p" to pause ... temporary command names
I'll probably have to say this several times, but for now, loki is only
available on Linux/GTK+, due to the use of the Console widget. Support
for other platforms can come later easily enough.
