John Denker:
Suggestion: It might be helpful to promote each of
the .c files to .cxx.
Rationale:
-- The configure/makefile system handles CFLAGS
differently from CXXFLAGS.
-- It is important for the *info programs to
compiled and run in exactly the same environment
as the main fgfs program. Some users depend on
compiler or linker flags such as rpath that
strongly affect the results of the *info programs.
-- There is no downside; you code compiles just
fine as-is under the c++ compiler.

* Fix --disable-sound
* Add a new command line option: --sound-device=""
This makes OpenAL use the sepcified audio device instead of the default
output device. (Look for playback devices when calling openal-info of alcinfo)

Together with previous patch, make view reference frame, view offset,
and current view visible in property tree.
Also some comments about the concepts behind these variables.

Add a view debugging functions and represent the viewer quats in the property tree for debugging.
Do a nontrivial calculation, demonstrating how to find the 12:00 orientation given the view and the view offset. it, and observe that the 12:00 direction does not change when you change the view offset, which is a nontrivial result.
Erik: This already proved to be useful since I now obserbed that the sky and fog coloring code depends on view offset rather that the view orientations. This is why those effects are out of line in some views.

Don't make the SoundManager a memebr of the subsystem manager; It needs to be initialized very early and destroyed as late as possible. That doesn't work as a subsystem meber onless some sort of priority scheme gets implemented. Get rid of auto_ptr which doesn work for the samples either.

Correct (and verrified) position, orientation and velocity vector. Todo: proper sound orientation (the all face forward using the airplane orientation now) and disabling doppler effect when tied to the listener

Split up FGFX into a dedicated effects class (FGFX) and a sample queue class. Register the sample queue cass as 'queue' at the SoundManager and tie it to the listener position.

allow disabling sound completely (note: openal gets initialized but shuts down a bit later leaving the soundmanager to handle only very specific commands). At this time by specifying '--prop:/sim/sound/enabled=false', not sure why '--disable-sound' doesn't work properly

Add the Sound Manager before any other subsystem that uses it. This makes sure the SoundMgr is available at construction time which makes the code much cleaner. Call the update_last() after any other class

While troubleshooting the new environment I discovered the metar station
elevation (station_elevation_ft) is never being set because there is a
local variable that overrides it.
ATIS overhaul by John Denker, adapted to trunk by me.
8:: AWOS is available at AWOS locations. (Previously only ATIS was
implemented.)
9:: ATIS phraseology now more nearly conforms to international
standard METAR pattern, and therefore to usual FAA practice.(*)
Items marked with a (*) are fully implemented in the /text/ of the
ATIS message, but the voiced version of the message is degraded by
limitations of the FGFS built-in text-to-speech system.
10:: ATIS now reports sky condition.(*)
11:: ATIS now reports multiple layers of clouds, not just the lowest
layer.(*)
12:: ATIS now takes field elevation into account when calculating
sky condition and ceiling.
13:: ATIS now reports dewpoint.(*)
14:: ATIS now can handle negative quantities (temperature and dewpoint).(*)
15:: ATIS can now report report fractional-mile visibility.(*)
16:: ATIS now uses magnetic (not true) wind directions, as it should.
17:: ATIS generates correct runway number and suffix (nine right,
one one left).
18:: ATIS can be received on nav frequencies, not just comm.
19:: Nothing bad happens if the same ATIS is tuned up on more than
one receiver.
20:: ATIS can be updated at times other than at the top of the hour.
21:: ATIS listens for an "attention" signal, and responds to changes
in the weather by issuing a new ATIS message (somewhat like a
"special observation").
22:: ATIS volume now responds to radio volume setting.
23:: Area-related services (i.e. approach radar) are handled
more-nearly consistently with radio-frequency related services.
24:: ATIS sequence-letter generation has been fixed.
25:: ATIS messages are now in the property tree, so they can be read
e.g. via the http interface.

Patches for configure.ac and Makefile.am files in FG/SG so Mac developers can build these in a unix way.
These also enables Mac developers to choose either PLIB framework or PLIB static libs.
Different approach to handling the paired-ILS-on-opposite-runways situation. This uses additional information we now store (in FGRunway) to be more explicit about the behaviour (i.e only look at paired navids), and crucially, does not misbehave near either threshold. Instead it always switches about the runway midpoint (so back-course/missed-approaches are broken as before), leading to stable behaviour when touching down.
I am pretty confident this is (was, from FS2004) also the 'solution' taken by MSFS.
