Colinux v0.7.5

EmuCR: ColinuxColinux v0.7.5 is released.Colinux (Cooperative Linux) is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software. In its current condition, it allows us to run the KNOPPIX Japanese Edition on Windows.

Colinux v0.7.5 Changelog:
* Version 0.7.5
* Bug #1959846, #2760666: Don´t crash the host, if an other virtualization
runs in VMX mode.

Network:
* Bug #2849262: SLiRP: Active FTP failed with "500 Illegal PORT command".
Environment COLINUX_HOST_IPADDR overwrites auto detected host ip address.

Console and daemons:
* Insert keys from fltk console without keyboard mapping. (Paolo Minazzi)
* New: NT console WinKey+V paste keys from clipboard. (Vladislav Grishenko)
* Linux as host: Handle extended keys, for example ALT+CurRight.
* Automatically add network dependency to coLinux as service.
* Version informations about binutils and SVN revision added to daemon file.

Kernel:
* Remove floating point handling from passage page code. FPU save/restore
only on demand and only inside Linux guest kernel, if Linux kernel or Linux
userland needs the FPU. In cases where FPU was not used on Linux guest side,
the registers of FPU are not touched. That saves some time between operating
system switches. It´s 1 percent (or less) faster now.
* Increase CO_LINUX_API_VERSION to 13, avoids crashes with older builds.
* cloop updated to version 2.625
* Forward plain text panic message instead "terminated with code 3".

Buildsystem:
* Bug #2847393: Configure detected wrong program versions. (Steven Chen)
