* README (Disclaimer): Removed incubation disclaimer.
(Contents, Library Installation on UNIX Systems): Updated library
version number.
(Compatibility): Updated.
(Unpacking Instructions): Removed "incubating."
(Test Suite Files): Removed references to end users.
(C Library Configuration Macros): Added _RWSTD_NO_EQUAL_CTYPE_MASK.
(Platform Identification Macros): Added a few more examples.
(Platform Notes): Updated with latest tested platforms. Replaced
references to AMD64 and EM64T with the generic x86_64.

- -------------
-
- The ASF Incubation Policy requires every Podling (project of the
- Apache Incubator) to include a clear disclaimer on its Web site and
- in all documentation stating that it is undergoing incubation. The
- following is the text of the required disclaimer.
-
- STDCXX is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software
- Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation
- is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
- indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision
- making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other
- successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily
- a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does
- indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

1.1 Compatibility
------------------
- This version of the library is source and binary compatible with all
- previous 4.x releases. Programs compiled and linked with previous
- versions of the (shared) library within the 4.x lineage will
- continue to link and work correctly when linked with this version of
- the library (this is sometimes referred to a backward
- compatibility), provided the same compiler is used to compile both
- the programs and the library. Changing the compiler or its version
- may have an impact on the binary compatibility of the generated
- object code. Programs compiled and linked with this version of the
- library may not link with with prior versions of the library, or may
- not operate correctly (this is sometimes referred to as forward
- compatibility).
