This basically shows a messagebox as soon as the debugger starts,
describing the error and offering the choice to continue debugging
or exiting the ROM entirely.
The DPC+ code now catches fatal errors from the Thumb ARM
emulation code and shows it as a fatal error in the debugger.
This means you no longer need to look at the commandline for
this output, and you immediately know that something has
gone wrong.
Added 'exitrom' debugger parser command, which completely exits
from the debugger *and* the ROM, going back to the ROM launcher.
Cleaned up the API a little, rearranging some classes and
adding references instead of pointers. More work to be done
in this area.

console (which doesn't exist on every platform). Also use proper C++
stringstreams instead of C-style arrays (which are evil). If an exception
is thrown, start the debugger with a fatal error message. Currently, this
message is simply printed in the debugger info window. Still TODO is add
a dialog to show the entire input from within the UI, as well as a way
to exit the ROM when a fatal error occurs.
Cleaned up the API a little, adding explicit declarations for when a method
can throw an exception. Also merged some empty classes directly into their
header files.
Added functionality to the System class for querying whether it has
been reset while in 'autodetect' mode. Autodect mode is defined as
when Stella starts and temporarily runs to autoconfigure itself.
Some classes (such as Thumb ARM emulation) need to know this, and
suppress debugging output/throwing exceptions when not running in
normal emulation mode.
I hope to have a new release done by the end of this week, or the end
of the month at the latest.

Updated documentation with info about 2600-daptor, including
usage and its creator. Also included more in-depth explanation
for the various controller types.
Errors from the Thumb ARM emulation code are now caught as exceptions,
and thrown to the parent class instead of calling exit() and simply
crashing Stella. For now, the messages are simply printed and
emulation continues. This will be expanded to show a detailed crash
log in the debugger, and offer the option to exit the ROM.
Removed most of the menus from the OSX port. They weren't being
maintained anyway, and most of them didn't work. I've modelled this
on the way other cross-platform OSX programs work (notably, ScummVM).
Basically, there are menus for exit and help, but otherwise you
should use the menuing system in the application itself.

Wrapped THUMB ARM emulation in a define, so that it can be excluded
from builds. To enable it, the 'THUMB_SUPPORT' directive must be
included in the build process. This has been added to the OSX
project files, but is still TODO for Linux and Windows.
Removed some obsolete include paths from the OSX project files,
dating back about 5 years or so.

Also fixed warnings when compiling on 64-bit compilers.
