I tried using 'svn merge' to do the merge but it did a terrible job and
there were bazillions of conflicts. So instead I just took the diff between
the branch and trunk at r10155, applied the diff to the trunk, 'svn add'ed
the added files (no files needed to be 'svn remove'd) and committed.

caused by heap corruption by the client. Also clarified the FAQ about this.
Also updated the FAQ about decoding failures a little.

- It heavily refactors the code: uses better names for things, splits up
complex functions that behaved very differently depending on how they were
called, removes some redundancies, and generally makes it much simpler and
easier to follow.
- It adds lots of comments, both inline, and also a big explanatory one at
the top which makes it clear exactly how the leak checker works and also
exactly what is meant by definite, possible, and indirect leaks. It also
has some ideas for future improvements.
- All tabs have been converted to spaces.
It also improves the functionality:
- Previously if you did --leak-check=summary, indirect and suppressed
blocks were counted as definite leaks. Now they are done properly, and so
the summary results from --leak-check=summary match those from
--leak-check=yes.
- Previously, some possibly reachable blocks were miscategorised as
definitely reachable, because only the pointer to the block itself was
considered, not any preceding pointers in the chain. This is now fixed.
- Added memcheck/tests/leak-cases, which fully tests all the possible
combinations of directly/indirectly reachable and possibly/definitely
reachable.
And it improves the manual quite a bit, and the FAQ a little bit.
This doesn't fix the leak checker to handle MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK works that have
been taken from within malloc'd blocks, but I think I know how to do it and
hope to do so in a subsequent commit.
It also changes all instances of "<constant>memcheck</constant>" in the
Memcheck manual to "Memcheck", for consistency and because "Memcheck" is
easier to write. There's one similar case for DRD but I didn't change that.

'__libc_start_main', in Massif, m_debuginfo and m_stacktrace. As part of
this, --show-below-main is now visible to tools, and Massif pays attention
to it.
Improved the description of --show-below-main=yes in the manual.
Replaced some instances of "__libc_start_main" in the test *.exp files with
"(below main)", which is what will actually be seen. Also updated
scalar.stderr.exp*, which should make it get closer to actually passing.

clearer what they mean:
- They all have VGCONF_ prefixes now, to indicate they come out of
configure.in (and are clearly distinguished from the VGA_/VGO_/VGP_
#defines passed in to C files).
- The ones that refer to the primary *or* secondary platform have _INCLUDES_
in them.
- The ones that are in all-caps have a _CAPS suffix.
So, for example, what was VGP_X86_LINUX is now
VGCONF_PLATFORMS_INCLUDE_X86_LINUX, which is more verbose but also a lot
clearer. The names of the #defines used in the C files (VGA_x86, VGO_linux,
etc) are unchanged.
cputest.c: changed to reflect the Valgrind installation's capabilities,
rather than the machine's capabilities. In particular, if
--enable-only32bit is used on a 64-bit machine, then this program will claim
to only support 32-bits. Also use the VGA/VGO/VGP macros which are clearer
than the __i386__ ones. (This is partially merged from the DARWIN branch.)
configure.in: clean up the comments, distinguish different sections more
clearly, and generally make it more readable.
valgrind.pc.in: try to make this more accurate. I doubt anyone's using it.
It doesn't appear to be set up to handle dual-architecture builds.

arch/OS/platform-specific tool test dirs, instead writing it by hand.
This is important because up until now if we had any arch-specific test
dirs, we needed such dirs for all archs. Now that we also have
OS-specific and platform-specific test dirs, we don't want to have
(mostly) empty dirs for every arch/OS/platform.
- Correspondingly, removed several empty directories under memcheck/tests/
and cachegrind/tests that are no longer needed.
- Also removed VG_ARCH_ALL from configure.in.
- Also used an arch-specific guard rather than a platform-specific one where
appropriate in cachegrind/tests/Makefile.am.

released. Looking at this lot, you'd get the impression the system is
so bug-riddled it's amazing it works at all.

memcheck/tests/Makefile.am and was copied into drd/tests/Makefile.am.
When building regtests for a 32-bit only build on a 64-bit CPU, the
use of $(VG_ARCH) in these Makefiles is incorrect, because VG_ARCH
will be set to the 64-bit architecture, not the 32-bit architecture.
See comments on VG_ARCH_PRI and VG_ARCH_MAX in configure.in for more
details.

wrote into the parent's output file even if %p was specified.
Josef, I think Callgrind does not have this bug, but you might want to say
something about forking in the manual, as I have done for Massif and
Cachegrind.
