vbcc optimizing C compiler now with Apple I and Apple II support

Hello,

I have uploaded version 4 of the vbcc distribution for 6502 targets at http://www.compilers.de/vbcc.html

This release now comes with target integrations for Apple I and Apple II, among many others. It contains a C compiler, assembler, linker and ports of a C Library for a variety of 6502 systems.

Some features of vbcc for 6502:

- comes with ready-to-use C library for the following targets: C64, C128, PET, Atari 8bit, BBC Micro/Master, NES, SNES, MEGA65, Apple I, Apple II, Oric Atmos, Commander X16, Simulator/Freestanding
- supports C99 (variable-length arrays, designated initializers etc.)
- generates optimized code (see dhrystones in sample directory)
- supports far-pointers and banked memory with automated bank-switching
- (limited) floating point support based on Steve Wozniaks code
- (pretty good) 32/64bit IEEE floating point support based on SANE
- support for 65C02 extensions
- support for CSG65CE02 extensions
- support for MEGA65 extensions
- support for writing interrupt handlers
- attributes for putting variables into zero page
- supports stack-frames > 256 bytes
- supports file I/O on selected targets
