- Preparations for clib2 1.205

- Added support for ELF shared objects and libraries. This is implemented through
  constructor/destructor functions, which means that you can use this
  functionality even in Amiga Exec style shared libraries, with the proper
  library initialization code to invoke the constructor/destructor functions
  for you.

- Updated uname() to recognize AmigaOS 4.1.

- The translation from Unix to Amiga path names did not properly process
  multiple occurences of "/./" in the path name. Thanks go to Steven Solie
  for finding the issue.

- The detection of "/./" and "/../" patterns in Unix path names to be
  translated into Amiga path names did not test if it was overrunning
  the end of the string.

- If strcmp(), strncmp() and memcmp() detect a pair of different
  characters, then the function result must be calculated as if the
  characters were of type "unsigned char". This is a requirement
  according to the ISO 'C' (1994) standard. Thanks go to Georg Steger
  for finding the issue.

- The definitions for INT_MIN, INT_MAX and UINT_MAX in <limits.h> no
  longer use long integer types, as prompted by Steven Solie.
