[Larceny-users] warning to those of you who build your own Larceny from source

[William D Clinger]

This message does not concern you unless you check out
the source code for a development version of Larceny
and build your own system from source.  Most users of
Larceny use the prebuilt systems only, and should just
ignore this message.

Revision 5032 adds a new counter to the Larceny globals
structure, which means the new Larceny runtime (the
larceny.bin file) is now incompatible with all previous
runtimes and heap images.  After updating to revision
5032, you will need to recompile the entire runtime from
source, and you will also need to rebuild all heap images
from source.

To rebuild the runtime from source, you must remove
src/Rts/Makefile by hand.  It will be regenerated by the
build process.

As of revision 5032, the version number has been changed
to v0.95alpha1.
