** cpu_set_halt_line -> cpunum_set_input_line
** cpu_set_irq_line -> cpunum_set_input_line
** cpu_set_irq_line_and_vector -> cpunum_set_input_line_and_vector
** timer_suspendcpu -> cpunum_suspend/cpunum_resume
** timer_holdcpu -> cpunum_suspend/cpunum_resume
** cpu_getstatus -> cpunum_is_suspended
** timer_get_overclock -> cpunum_get_clockscale
** timer_set_overclock -> cpunum_set_clockscale
** cpu_gettotalcycles -> cpunum_gettotalcycles
** cpu_gettotalcycles64 -> cpunum_gettotalcycles64
** keyboard_name -> code_name
** keyboard_pressed -> code_pressed
** keyboard_pressed_memory -> code_pressed_memory
** keyboard_pressed_memory_repeat -> code_pressed_memory_repeat
** keyboard_read_async -> code_read_async
** install_mem_read*_handler -> memory_install_read*_handler
** install_mem_write*_handler -> memory_install_write*_handler
** install_port_read*_handler -> memory_install_read*_handler
** install_port_write*_handler -> memory_install_write*_handler
** memory_install_read*_handler_mirror -> memory_install_read*_handler
** memory_install_write*_handler_mirror -> memory_install_write*_handler
** READ_HANDLER -> READ8_HANDLER
** WRITE_HANDLER -> WRITE8_HANDLER

* [[Nathan Woods]] contributed miscellaneous cleanups and refactorings done primarily to support a new MESS specific feature. Also removed some '#if 0' code.

* [[Nathan Woods]] added new input port definitions, similar to the new memory map definitions. You can continue to use the old PORT_BIT, PORT_BITX, and PORT_ANALOG macros for now, but it is preferred going forward that all ports use only PORT_BIT, and append all other flags and options using the new macros. See pacman.c for an example of the new format. The new input ports also support tagging for easier tracking of ports, and the ability to import port definitions from another set.

* [[Logiqx]] made 2 minor fixes to xml2info so that 'mame -listxml|xml2info' matches 'mame -listinfo' exactly.

* [[smf]] added a new option to the Windows version: -wavwrite to save sound output to a WAV file.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added the ADSP2181 variant to the ADSP21xx CPU cores.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added support for many more instruction forms in x86drc.h.

* [[Nathan Woods]] added consistency checking for the year field.

* [[Aaron Giles]] removed some silly 6502 speedups in the Atari games.
