eCos maintainers

I think the eCos 3.0 branch is now good for a final release. Thank you
to all those who have helped in resolving the last few Bugzilla issues.
I have appended notes on the action taken. I have also attached a draft
version of the release notes.

If you have any comments or concerns, please raise them by the end of
Thursday 2009-03-25. I will then proceed with generating the final release.

>> 1000717    	lwIP TCP/IP drops incoming IP packets on SLIP interface

Patch applied

>> 1000719 	lwip_ppp tests build fails when CYGDBG_LWIP_DEBUG turned on

Proposed change seems too invasive at this late stage - documented in
release notes

 >> 1000693 	flash.c assertion failure

Andrew thinks this should be pushed out

>> 1000688 	RedBoot GPL message

I have checked in Sergei's patch

>> 1000689 	ompat/posix/current/tests/signal1 hangs
>> 1000690 	/home/lunn/eCos/work/install/tests/compat/posix/current/tests/signal3 runs forever

I have backed out the change which caused these issues

>> 1000701 	Error building vectors.S for Thumb on AT91 targets

Fixed by using LDR instructions instead of MOV

>> 1000723 	Building eCos C library for synthetic target fails with gcc-3.2

Added to release notes

>> 1000685 	isoinfra limits.h breaks with gcc 4.3.3/synth

Andrew has checked in his fix

>> 1000716 	Error launching GDB to run eCos tests

No obvious cause - added to release notes
