DOS ain't dead

The FreeBASIC developers have released version 0.18.4b of their compiler.

Announcement: http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11063
Changes: http://www.freebasic.net/index.php/details?page=news&category=rls&id=11
Discussion: http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11033

P.S. The DOS binary of GDB.EXE (same as with 0.18.3b) won't run on < PPro ("cmovne"). Apparently, none of us ever bothered to test it.

[changed]
- fbc when installed to a configured --prefix now uses target directories
- added the --enable-standalone configure switch. If building for current dos/win32 or to use fbc from inside the development tree, this switch must be used

[added]
- install-standalone.sh for installing the standalone version

[fixed]
- gfxlib win32 driver was calling driver exit routines twice
- included files weren't normalizing slashes before being cached
- install.sh should use "=" for string comparison instead of "=="

Also, they fixed this:

> DOS:

> built for i786 [sic] making it impossible to use on older architectures)
