FIXNUM_BITS and CHAR_BIT do not rely now on "char" being 8-bit
large.
+ All configuration settings are now grouped in config.h. This file
has two parts, and the second one, containing flags which are only
needed during the build process, is deleted when installing ECL.
+ File critical.h merged into lwp.h.
LAMBDA-PARAMETERS-LIMIT are both 64. Up to C-ARGUMENTS-LIMIT may be
passed to a function using C calling conventions. If the function is
to retrieve more arguments, (for instance through a &rest variable),
this can be done, but then the arguments have to be pushed on the lisp
stack. This method allows us to raise the CALL-ARGUMENTS-LIMIT up to
MOST-POSITIVE-FIXNUM. From a users point of view, there is no visible
change, excep the fact that a function may receive more arguments.
The function apply() has been replaced with cl_apply_from_stack().
The former took a pointer to the list of arguments. The latter assumes
that the last "narg" elements on the lisp stack are the arguments of
the function.
