<h3>Cleanup of startup directory</h3>
<p>The files in the startup directory have not been maintained in recent years
and have grown crufty (technical term). This release includes the following
updates to these files:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Perl <tt>EpicsHostArch.pl</tt> script has been rewritten, and support
for a few previously missing host architectures has been added to it.</li>
<li>The <tt>EpicsHostArch.pl</tt> script has also been moved into the standard
<tt>src/tools</tt> directory, from where it will be installed into
<tt>lib/perl</tt>. In this new location it is no longer executable, so it must
be run by the <tt>perl</tt> executable.</li>
<li>The build system has been adjusted to look for <tt>EpicsHostArch.pl</tt> in
both places if the <tt>EPICS_HOST_ARCH</tt> environment variable has not been
set at build-time.</li>
<li>Sites that used the original Perl script to set <tt>EPICS_HOST_ARCH</tt> as
part of their standard environment will need to adjust their scripts when they
upgrade to this release.</li>
<li>The <tt>EpicsHostArch</tt> shell script has been replaced with a wrapper
routine that calls the Perl <tt>EpicsHostArch.pl</tt> script. Sites that rely on
this script to set <tt>EPICS_HOST_ARCH</tt> should consider switching to the
Perl script instead.</li>
<li>The <tt>Site.cshrc</tt> and <tt>Site.profile</tt> files have been renamed to
<tt>unix.csh</tt> and <tt>unix.sh</tt>, respectively.</li>
<li>The existing <tt>win32.bat</tt> file has been cleaned up and a new
<tt>windows.bat</tt> file added for 64-bit targets. The contents of these files
should be seen as examples, don't uncomment or install parts for software that
you don't explicitly know that you need.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Recent Apple XCode Build Issues</h3>
<p>The latest version of XCode will not compile calls to <tt>system()</tt> or
