Changes from JPC to JPC-RR Release 1:

        Savestating on running PC is racy and produces unusable savestate.
- Variable CPU speed/memory size/BIOS image support
- Add VGA retrace start/stop traps and timed traps
        This is frame / time advance mecanism.
- Textual status dump
        Textual status dump is powerful tool when debugging desyncs.
- Implement new savestate mechanism and remove the old
        The old mechanism just didn't cut it. New mechanism is brute-force but works.
- Video dumping support
        Support dumping video to series of PNG files
- Add tools for making image files
- Image library code
        Needed images are searched via image library.

        To be reintroduced later

        The standard one from java.util.<foo> just isn't deterministic enough.

        These are for future extensions, so devices can be added without breaking timing.
