broadblues - 53.3

Add support for AmiUpdate on the request of "Rene W. Olsen".
Add alias for make=gmake and date=gdate on the request of "Johan Samuelsson" and
a few on my own dir=gdir, env=genv and install=ginstall.
Set the stack cookie on the request of "Damien Stewart" - I have set it high at
the moment, but will lower it when I get some response on it.

hnl_dk - 52.1
Simon Archer (Rigo) has requested that I use a correct Amiga version string, so
from now on, do we do that.
As clib2 and newlib do not support FD_CLOEXEC, is there no need to try to use
it.

spot (Johan Samuelsson) reported a problem with the color in the new builtin
command "contact"... it should be fixed now... big thanks to Johan :-)

hnl_dk - 0.1.07 Prerelease
I have changed the path of the environmental settings file, as I have got a
request from Nicolas and from Philippe... SDK:Data/abc-shell/variables

The same goes for the historyfile... SDK:Data/abc-shell/history

I have also updated the new "contact" command, so please check it ;-)

hnl_dk - 0.1.06 Prerelease
a few fixes and updates

hnl_dk - 0.1.05 Prerelease
Jörg Strohmayer reported that abc-shell was writing to its Read Only Data...
with this version should the problem have been solved :-)

hnl_dk - 0.1.04 Prerelease
spotUP (Johan Samuelsson) discovered a problem with config.sub I have fixed it.

I have also made a new builtin command "contact"... please test that command :-)

hnl_dk - 0.1.03 Prerelease
Frak (Jonny Högsten) discovered a problem with 'sh -n' and I have for now
disabled that...

I have also set the environmental variable MAKE to 'gmake', so the created
makefiles should not be using 'make'

hnl_dk - 0.1.02 Prerelease
if you use your own environmental settings, then do you need to know that I have
changed the name of the file... S:variables.ksh

and abc-shell is now saving a historyfile when you exit the shell (if you keep
forgetting what variables you have used for configure scripts is this very
usefull)... S:history.ksh

if enough people complain about the files being in the global S: directory, will
I find another place to put it...
