Fixes for windows plataform concerning WebDAV and Extension
methods. In HTMethod and HTRequest, functions defined for
the Extension Methods are now defined always, but return
fail values when HT_EXT is not defined. In addition, the
files "Library/src/WWWDAV.html" and "Library/src/windows/wwwdav.files"
have been added. These files and modifications were needed
to produce the correct "*.def" files, for windows plataform.

AB: Documented changes to RDF parser (HTRDF.{c,html}) and two
new programs in Library/Examples.

AB: Added comments about my recent changes to the libwww RDF
parser (Libary/src/HTRDF.c).

JK: The make dist command wasn't copying the .c, .files, and .mak
files found in the Library/src/windows. As a result, the tar files
created with this command were missing those files.

JK:  Memory leak. The HTPlain (HTPlain.c) stream wasn't freeing the
HTTextImp (me->text) object in the HTPlain_free and HTPlain_abort. I found the
bug while running the robot thru Insure and found the fix by seeing what
was being done in the HTML (HTML.c) stream.

JK: Wayne Davison: Removing an element from a hash-table, walking a
hash-table, minor doc and code cleanup.

JK: Wayne Davison
Since "cvs update" was complaining about a bunch of generated files
in the Library/src dir, I tweaked it to ignore the *.la files and
the .libs dir.

JK Because (IMO) a very imbricated protocol stack, the Robot
could hang when accessing local files, as it become starved
on it's own sockets. I fixed the problem by adding a new
state in HTFile:FileEvent() to take into account the case when
a request goes pending. This is mostly based on a previous
(not commited) patch by Kinuko Yasuda, plus some long debugging to
find out what was happening and a fix to a memory bug that the
other patch had.

JK: Wayne Davison:
New function HTChunk_setSize(). Documentation fixes and related code

JK: Updated the "how to bootstrap section" with instructions on what to
do if libtool and aclocal are installed in different directories.
