Release 0.4 is now available.

Changes:
1) New library functions: xunlink(), xrewind() and xmkstemp()
2) New keyword EXTERNAL.  Add the ability to define function prototypes
   for external functions.
3) New keyword TRANSPARENT.  Similar to the keyword EXTERNAL but is
   intended to be used with C include files.
4) Add CORELONGWORD() to access 64-bit memory objects.
5) Enhancements to the INLINE() function.
6) The XPL variable errno was changed to xerrno to allow programs to
   access the C variable errno.
7) Many additions to the documentation.
