  utils: -adding a 32 to 8 bit Wishbone bridge to connect 8 bit modules to the MinSoC interconnect.
  -adding a Linux driver for parallel cables for the adv_jtag_bridge. It circumvents the necessity of privilege to run adv_jtag_bridge with cables xpc3 and xess.
  
  sw/support: support library has been made completely standalone. That means, it is now independent from uClib and/or newlib. Thanks to Wojciech A. Koszek for his contribution on this.
  
  sw/drivers: a driver library has been included, which supply drivers for the OpenRISC timer; and for UART, Ethernet, I2C, and CAN modules from OpenCores.
  
  sw/uart and sw/eth: they don't provide code to control the UART and Ethernet controllers anymore. They use the drivers library instead.
  
  Documentation:
  -FAQ extended:
  -table of contents
  -explanation of how to use the 32 to 8 bit Wishbone bridge
  -how to make adv_jtag_bridge work without privilege requirement for xess or xpc3
  -explanation of locking problem of xpc_usb cable
  -explanation of what to do if the cable is built on-board
  -INSTALL:
  -patching of gdb only required if version is 6.8, explanation on FAQ now.
  -HOWTO:
  -instruct to compile drivers library
  -remove line numbers information on what to edit, better leave it to be found only by the informed context.
  -adv_jtag_bridge execution now without 'sudo'. Note included that 'sudo' is required for Linux and xess or xpc3. Reference to FAQ to avoid this requirement.
