VSTa work in progress

Hi, all.

I've continued on the performance work Dave did and now have a "fast path"
for system calls with zero, one, two, or three arguments (which is all the
important ones). I'm now moving the source around a bit more to accomodate
the 68030 Amiga port as well as a 68040 multibus port I'm doing. Today I
added the "include" directive to "make" so that I can break Makefiles like
the one for libc into portable and platform-specific parts.

I also put a networked VSTa machine up on the Internet. I should configure
it for FTP, but for now you can at least ping vsta.crystald.com and know
that it's a VSTa machine sending back your ICMP echo.

Welcome to Michael Watkin! Finding projects on VSTa is never much of a
challenge.... If you have access to a network you might consider fixing up
the KA9Q port I did and then adding a /inet filesystem server to it so we
can bring up more networking services. Other activities are porting a
late-model gcc 2.X over, perhaps pitching in on the windowing system MADO,
or porting over some other LAN interface drivers (I did ne2000, but there
are others just as common).
