Greetings!  This branch contains some quick fixups to the 2.6.9 release:

* - Version_2_6_10pre origin/Version_2_6_10pre 0a9a24cf lintian fix to 
VirtualFree call in unexnt.c
* ---------------------- Version_2_6_10pre@{1} 3003336c rehardwire heap start

32Gb on macosx

in static area, as malloc_create_zone returns a pointer to read-only memory in 
macosx 10.8
* -------------------------------------------- 8d89bd77 work around unlinkable 
profile prototype in macosx 10.8 64bit
* -------------------------------------------- 946fa113 clear prototype

* -------------------------------------------- b9c3f3e9 zero firstword in 
set_type_of macro to handle C stack objects
* ------ origin/Version_2_6_9pre Version_2_6_9 b75be097 fix allocate functions

Primarily this fixes the builds on win7 and higher, and macosx 10.7 and
higher.  There is also a fix to an obscure bug revealed by acl2, as well
as a syntax error blocking fricas trunk.  Heap sizes are also dynamic on
windows and macosx, making available much more memory.

I'd like to release this ASAP.  However, I've been informed by the
fricas people that 2.6.9 is much slower for them than 2.6.8.  I haven't
had the time to look into this, and have not experienced this with other
software.  Nevertheless, if someone might isolate any performance
degradation issues in the next few days, I'll try to get a fix in to
2.6.10. 

Take care,
