5d35d711ba Implement stack registration client requests. See the documentation
in the user manual for usage information.  The stack_changes.c file in
corecheck/tests contains a short example.

a08662c48c Big clean-up: changed the core/tool interface to be mediated entirely
through the VG_(tdict) function dictionary, rather than using TL_(foo)
functions.

This facilitated the following changes:

- Removed the "TL_" prefix, which is no longer needed.

- Removed the auto-generated files vg_toolint.[ch], which were no longer
  needed, which simplifies the build a great deal.  Their (greatly
  streamlined) contents went into core.h and vg_needs.h (and will soon
  go into a new module defining the core/tool interface).  
  
  This also meant that tool.h.base reverted to tool.h (so no more
  accidentally editing tool.h and not having the changes go into the
  repo, hooray!)  And gen_toolint.pl was removed.  And toolfuncs.def was
  removed.

- Removed VG_(missing_tool_func)(), no longer used.

- Bumped the core/tool interface major version number to 8.  And I
  killed the minor version number, which was never used.  The layout
  of the ToolInfo struct is such that this should not cause problems.

394ef03a88 Get rid of the --sloppy-malloc= flag and the functionality it
controlled (rounding user malloc requests up to a multiple of 4).
Subsequent changes to memcheck made it more or less pointless, it is a
time waster in the malloc/free path, and nobody ever used it AFAIK.

0e735dde57 In vg_memory.c, allow the stack-change threshold to be specified by a
command-line flag (--max-stackframe=number), rather than hardwiring it
to 2000000.  This is helpful for dealing with unruly Fortran programs
which want to allocate large arrays on the stack.

1a0b185acf Remove an out-of-date FAQ, putting the still-relevant part in another
question.  Man, double maintenance sucks.  And when/how does the website FAQ
get updated...?

27066dbfc5 Don't use the VGP_ for profiling any more, just use VG_ -- we want to use
VGP_ for platform-specific things.

6c7e08a8f5 Documentation update. This should bring the core of the documentation
up to date with reality.  Please give this a proofread.

I ran out of steam at memcheck/docs/mc_techdocs.html, which is even more
hopelessly out of date.  I will note that cacheprof.org is some kind of
dental insurance company now...

c3187ad891 Added the Quick Start Guide, in XML. Not entirely happy with the formatting

7a75a9f583 Overhauled the docs. Removed all the HTML files, put in XML files as
converted by Donna.  Hooked it into the build system so they are only
built when specifically asked for, and when doing "make dist".

They're not perfect;  in particular, there are the following problems:
- The plain-text FAQ should be built from FAQ.xml, but this is not
  currently done.  (The text FAQ has been left in for now.)

- The PS/PDF building doesn't work -- it fails with an incomprehensible
  error message which I haven't yet deciphered.

Nonetheless, I'm putting it in so others can see it.
