This little patch makes the KT-70 read 888-8888 when in self-test mode.
This is the correct behavior, the current behavior, where it reads the
flight level and squawk code in self-test is incorrect.

This is one leftover from Tat's patch from 2009-09-16:
I believe these patches are really important for Mac users since they don't have to wait for my updating xcode project files.
these also saves up to 50% of build time since most of users don't have to make universal binaries.

New feature: Allow the loading of shared models that are not located inside
the base package, but are maintained in the SVN repository of the custom
scenery project.

Dialog support for conditional enable and visible flags, and re-running layout when conditions change. Used by the GPS code, but potentially in many other places I expect.

Improvements to the cloudsystem:
- A new xml format
- Texture indexing based on the position of the sprite in the cloud
mass, allowing more control over the texture set.
- Improved fog and shading
- Better sprite distribution
- A more natural distribution of clouds, so no more obvious grids.

Non platform specific:
- normalize axes events
- handle relative and absolute axes separately in own classes
- ignore tolerance for relative axes, they can fire the same event multiple times which must not be ignored.
Refactor the XMLAuto parsing code to no longer warn about every node handled by the base class (FGXMLAutoComponent). As a side effect, issue better warnings when an unrecognised node is encountered.
A generic, configurable autobrake system. Not fully features yet, but works quite nicely in the 777, including RTO modes and auto-disengage on pilot input.

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.
