eCos maintainers

eCos is now looking in good shape for a beta release. Jifl will be
reviewing the repository over the coming weekend and also addressing the
issue with building the cxxsupp test using the older arm-elf toolchain.
Assuming no showstoppers are identified, I will generate the beta 1
release next week.

If you are aware of any small, non-invasive patches which you think
really should be a part of eCos 3.0, this is your last chance to check
them in before the release branch is cut.

I am attaching a draft version of the eCos 3.0 beta 1 release notes.
Your comments, additions and clarifications are very welcome.

eCos 3.0 release manager
