The FRAMECPP_VERSION_NUMBER is not properly defined in v2.7.0.  If it is empty, assume version 2.7.0.

Allow spurious failures.  Just require that we exceed the number of successful connections that used to be in a 32 bit bit mask.

This addresses the issue by expanding the size of the bitmask.
* Replace the 'int' bitmask with a generic structure.  This allows the
type system to help us find all the places it is used.
* Replace direct bitmask manipulation with member functions to increase
local readability.
* Allow the new bitmask structure to have an increased capacity that can
be set (at compile time).
* Add unit tests to new bitmask code.
* Add test code to look at nds1 load.

compile option not used in a normal system.

Use transport-independent RPC package (tirpc) if available,
otherwise use RPC headers if still available.
Mostly for non-Debian compiles, as Debian asserts non-default
flag in glibc to retain the old RPC support

Removed the edcuFileStatus and edcu_ini_fckrs from the daqd object.

external dcu model.

Casting where needed.
Adding forward declarations.
Adding missing includes.
Const/Volatile corrections.
Adding missing return types.

* Removing makefile/autotools build pieces.
* Removing non-daqd_shmem specific files
* Removed some of the #ifdef soup

The test will now run the whole test end to end, instead of pausing for
manual debugging.

Updated the help text and the test to use the correct notifier for the
end/duration of the test (-stop).

Added an 'analyze' mode to mbuf_probe to allow it to dump data in real
time with some basic data extracted.

Extended tests with new synthentic generators to help highlight issues.

It appears that there is a byte swap issue with 16bit ints.  Committing
code before looking into the daqd code.

mbuf_probe is a diagnostic tool to manipulate (list,
create, copy, delete) mbufs.  This change makes it so
that you no longer need to read the code to figure out
how to use the tool.

* Moving a size and data type information from daq/channels.h to
include/daq_data_types.h.
* Extending standalone_edc to use DBR_TIME* to look for late data.
* Updating the stream generators to handle more data types.

You can get into a situation where multiple disconnect events happen
w/o connection events.  This makes it look like the code cannot count
connected channels.  Only change the counts when we have a change from
the current state.

Introduce fixed sized buffers and split the iteration of the channel
list into stages.  This bounds the memory use of the each connected
client.

This allows disconnected channel lists to be extracted from the edc.

We can easily handle floats, int16, int32, so do so.

Turned src/drv/param.c src/drv/crc.c into a helper library.
Modified daqd and standalone_edc to consume this as a library.

Removed more now unused code from standalone_edc.

omx_xmit should run  after local_dc, so it does not need all the code
to wait for individual models and combine/concentrate the data.

during fast ADC testing.

This is done mainly to reduce IPC traffic of WD signals from SUS IOP models.
IPC rate is denoted in model Parameter block as ipc_rate=[desired rate], where
desired rate < model rate and >= 2048 in usual 2^n values.

   - Add specific FE_RATE and IPC_RATE to generated C code file instead of a bunch of ifdefs.
   - Remove old /proc stuff from Makefile generation.

Note that the max IPC rate is still 64K.

TDS timing available.
