Source changes:
---------------
- Updated TMS5220 core to use shifts instead of divides for the parameter interpolation. Also added support for internal clamping to 8-bit output when using the internal DAC [Lord Nightmare].
- Fixed regression that caused CHD games to crash if the CHD was not present. Also fixed change that required write access to CHDs [smf].
- Fixed CHD search paths again so that they look in parent subdirectories [Aaron Giles].
- Fixed security cassette contents to get "Guitar Freaks 3rd Mix (GE949 VER. JAB)" in game [smf].
- Exposed core_vfprintf(), and implemented mame_vfprintf() in terms of that call [Nathan Woods].
- Some improvements to the Wheels + Fire driver. Still not right [David Haywood].
- Added SCSIOP_GET_INQUIRY_BUFFER to scsicd & scsihd [smf].
- MB86233 core changes [ElSemi]:
 * Fixed a double move opcode;
 * Added a previously unknown double move opcode.
- Changed the way MAME handles options internally. Changed mame_options_init() to return a core_options object, which is now passed into mame_execute(). Moved mame_options() to mame.c, which is now only valid while the emulation is running. Audit functions now take a core_options parameter [Nathan Woods].
- More HD6309 fixes [Tim Lindner]:
 * the SEXW instruction not longer clears the overflow flag;
 * now generating an illegal instruction trap if invalid registers specified for TFM.
- Changed Windows message filtering to only apply to MAME game windows [Nathan Woods].
- Made a cleanup pass through the new x86emit.h code emitters, changing the way memory is referenced and replacing macros with inline functions [Aaron Giles].
- Updated MIPS and PowerPC drc cores to use the new emitters. Removed the old macro-based ones in x86drc.h [Aaron Giles].
-Added save state support to pacland [Aaron Giles].
-Made -autoframeskip aware of the -speed setting [Aaron Giles].
- Fixed stack buffer overrun in install_mem_handler() that broke the Hyperstone-based games under gcc 4.2.1 [Aaron Giles]
