Latest stuff

Hi, folks.

I have pdmake ported to VSTa, and my complete lack of support for time in
the DOS filesystem bit me immediately. I've added a time_set() interface
to the microkernel, and written a user program to query the PC NV clock,
map it to kernel format, and set the system time. I also added the basic
"date" command, so I can see if it worked.

I'll add time support to the DOS filesystem tomorrow, and then hopefully
I'll have a workable "make" with which to drive all my native VSTa
compiles.

BTW, if somebody wants to do a an easy but "neato" modification for me,
consider adding environment variable expansion to the path name lookup.
That is, change path lookup so that:

/@USER@/bin

would map to /vandys/bin, if I were to run it (and $USER was vandys).
This is easy to do because pathname lookups are done in the user context;
see libc/open.c.
