This is probably the largest code-change diff I've done in years.

I spent four days working 10-16 hours a day reworking layouts in hiro
completely.

The result is we now have TableLayout, which will allow for better
horizontal+vertical combined alignment.

Windows, GTK2, and now GTK3 are fully supported.

Windows is getting the initial window geometry wrong by a bit.

GTK2 and GTK3 work perfectly. I basically abandoned trying to detect
resize signals, and instead keep a list of all hiro windows that are
allocated, and every time the main loop runs, it will query all of them
to see if they've been resized. I'm disgusted that I have to do this,
but after fighting with GTK for years, I'm about sick of it. GTK was
doing this crazy thing where it would trigger another size-allocate
inside of a previous size-allocate, and so my layouts would be halfway
through resizing all the widgets, and then the size-allocate would kick
off another one. That would end up leaving the rest of the first layout
loop with bad widget sizes. And if I detected a second re-entry and
blocked it, then the entire window would end up with the older geometry.
I started trying to build a message queue system to allow the second
layout resize to occur after the first one completed, but this was just
too much madness, so I went with the simpler solution.

Qt4 has some geometry problems, and doesn't show tab frame layouts
properly yet.

Qt5 causes an ICE error and tanks my entire Xorg display server, so ...
something is seriously wrong there, and it's not hiro's fault. Creating
a dummy Qt5 application without even using hiro, just int main() {
TestObject object; } with object performing a dynamic\_cast to a derived
type segfaults. Memory is getting corrupted where GCC allocates the
vtables for classes, just by linking in Qt. Could be somehow related to
the -fPIC requirement that only Qt5 has ... could just be that FreeBSD
10.1 has a buggy implementation of Qt5. I don't know. It's beyond my
ability to debug, so this one's going to stay broken.

The Cocoa port is busted. I'll fix it up to compile again, but that's
about all I'm going to do.

Many optimizations mean bsnes and higan open faster. GTK2 and GTK3 both
resize windows very quickly now.

higan crashes when you load a game, so that's not good. bsnes works
though.

bsnes also has the start of a localization engine now. Still a long way
to go.

The makefiles received a rather substantial restructuring. Including the
ruby and hiro makefiles will add the necessary compilation rules for
you, which also means that moc will run for the qt4 and qt5 targets, and
windres will run for the Windows targets.

Tim Allen 50420e3dd2 Update to v098r19 release.

Changelog:
- added nall/bit-field.hpp
- updated all CPU cores (sans LR35902 due to some complexities) to use
  BitFields instead of bools
- updated as many CPU cores as I could to use BitFields instead of union {
  struct { uint8_t ... }; }; pairs

The speed changes are mostly a wash for this. In some instances,
I noticed a ~2-3% speedup (eg SNES emulation), and in others a 2-3%
slowdown (eg Famicom emulation.) It's within the margin of error, so
it's safe to say it has no impact.

This does give us a lot of new useful things, however:

- no more manual reconstruction of flag values from lots of left shifts
  and ORs
- no more manual deconstruction of flag values from lots of ANDs
- ability to get completely free aliases to flag groups (eg GSU can
  provide alt2, alt1 and also alt (which is alt2,alt1 combined)
- removes the need for the nasty order_lsbN macro hack (eventually will
  make higan 100% endian independent)
- saves us from insane compilers that try and do nasty things with
  alignment on union-structs
- saves us from insane compilers that try to store bit-field bits in
  reverse order
- will allow some really novel new use cases (I'm planning an
  instant-decode ARM opcode function, for instance.)
- reduces code size (we can serialize flag registers in one line instead
  of one for each flag)

However, I probably won't use it for super critical code that's constantly
reading out register values (eg PPU MMIO registers.) I think there we
would end up with a performance penalty.

Tim Allen 379ab6991f Update to v097r28 release.
byuu says:

Changelog: (all WSC unless otherwise noted)
- fixed LINECMP=0 interrupt case (fixes FF4 world map during airship
  sequence)
- improved CPU timing (fixes Magical Drop flickering and FF1 battle
  music)
- added per-frame OAM caching (fixes sprite glitchiness in Magical Drop,
  Riviera, etc.)
- added RTC emulation (fixes Dicing Knight and Judgement Silversword)
- added save state support
- added cheat code support (untested because I don't know of any cheat
  codes that exist for this system)
- icarus: can now detect games with RTC chips
- SFC: bugfix to SharpRTC emulation (Dai Kaijuu Monogatari II)
  - ( I was adding the extra leap year day to all 12 months instead of
    just February ... >_< )

Note that the RTC emulation is very incomplete. It's not really
documented at all, and the two games I've tried that use it never even
ask you to set the date/time (so they're probably just using it to count
seconds.) I'm not even sure if I've implement the level-sensitive
behavior correctly (actually, now that I think about it, I need to mask
the clear bit in INT_ACK for the level-sensitive interrupts ...)

A bit worried about the RTC alarm, because it seems like it'll fire
continuously for a full minute. Or even if you turn it off after it
fires, then that doesn't seem to be lowering the line until the next
second ticks on the RTC, so that likely needs to happen when changing
the alarm flag.

Also not sure on this RTC's weekday byte. On the SharpRTC, it actually
computes this for you. Because it's not at all an easy thing to
calculate yourself in 65816 or V30MZ assembler. About 40 lines of code
to do it in C. For now, I'm requiring the program to calculate the value
itself.

Also note that there's some gibberish tiles in Judgement Silversword,
sadly. Not sure what's up there, but the game's still fully playable at
least.

Finally, no surprise: Beat-Mania doesn't run :P
