The shell now has code to link binaries in from the system directory, and mkfs7 has
been modified to optionally create . and .., so things are mostly working now including
chdir.

To keep things sensible, we have set the main build rules to build from
the untouched historical sources. Phil has managed to get SimH to
simulate enough of the Graphics-2 device to use it as a second console.
We have removed all the #ifdefs from the code.
Warren has been working on an alternative version which sees the
system advance by about a year to when it has . and .. directory
entries, no dd entry, plus things like mkdir. To build this, do make alt,
make altrun. The src/alt area is used to hold the "alternative" code.
Essentially, it all works now except a few minor glitches. We now need
to get as up and running fully, get ed rescanned and working. Eventually
it would be good to have a working roff; but someone is going to have
to write it from scratch.
