STDWIN 0.9.9 released

I've made a new STDWIN release: 0.9.9. It should port a little easier
than the previous version -- it now uses a configure script generated
by GNU autoconf, and no longer uses "hidden" Xlib structure members.
Otherwise, little has changed. Well, if you insist, I also ported the
Mac version to THINK C 6.0 / 7.0.

I'm releasing this mainly to gather experience with the new
configuration scheme. It should be possible now to build it using
just these two commands:

./configure
make

If you have an exotic UNIX flavor, by all means test it out and give
me feedback -- if it *does* work unchanged on your platform, let me
know so I can list that platform as "OK", else let me know so I can
improve the configure script (and break portability for other
platforms :-).

I've tried it already on the following machine types: SGI: Indigo
under IRIX 4.0.5 and 5.2, Sun: SparcStation Classic under SunOS 4.1.3,
Sparcstation 10 an Solaris 2.3.

To incorporate this into Python, put the following in your Setup file:

STDWINPATH=:$(DESTLIB)/stdwin

STDWIN=<the stdwin toplevel directory>
LIBTEXTEDIT=$(STDWIN)/Packs/textedit/libtextedit.a
LIBX11STDWIN=$(STDWIN)/Ports/x11/libstdwin.a
stdwin stdwinmodule.c -I$(STDWIN)/H $(LIBTEXTEDIT) $(LIBX11STDWIN) -lX11

(If you build STDWIN in a subdirectory using VPATH, the name of the
subdirectory should be after $(STDWIN) in the LIB* definitions.)

Oh, almost forgot: where to get it. The URL is:
