Hi mamedev,
My srcclean changes to track C-style quotes didn't handle all the
special cases correctly (for instance, '\"' and "\\\""). This fixes
it, and adds some /* ... */ to m68k_in.c so that src2html.exe does a
better job on it.

memory_install_ram() to assign a un-named bank to a region and specify
a pointer to where the RAM lives. If this is called in the DRIVER_INIT
function or MACHINE/SOUND/VIDEO_START functions, then it is permissible
to specify NULL, in which case the memory system will allocate memory
and register it for save states.
memory_install_rom() is like the above except that it only installs a
read handler.
memory_install_writeonly() is like the above except that it only installs
a write handler.
Updated several instances in the code that were assigning banks to these
sorts of static RAM regions and simplified the code.
Also fixed several regressions reported by Tafoid.
The AM_SHARE() macro now takes a tag parameter. All existing
shares have been bulk renamed to "share##". However, the name
does not matter, so please use descriptive tags going forward.
Also added tag validation for bank and share tags.
Added flag to tagmap_add functions that optionally will
replace existing objects if a duplicate is found.
* Added new technical notes.
* Added Kimble Z80 hardware support.
* Added Prologic-Noraut hardware support.
* Added proper discrete sound support to Kimble games,
and Prologic-Noraut Joker Poker.
* Slightly adjusted the visual area.
This can be wrong and must be rechecked.
* Relocated the hardware notes and layouts to ROM_LOAD section,
so can be seen/maintained in a cleaner way.
* Fixed the default lamps state.
New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status

Noraut Joker Poker (Prologic HW) [Roberto Fresca, Alan Griffin]
New games marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING
------------------------------------
Kimble Double HI-LO (z80 version) [Roberto Fresca, Alan Griffin]
their place are a series of expanded macros and new memory
installation helpers. Some mappings below (not all are new):
AM_READ(SMH_RAM) -> AM_READONLY
AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM) -> AM_WRITEONLY
AM_READWRITE(SMH_RAM, SMH_RAM) -> AM_RAM
AM_READ(rhandler) AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM) -> AM_RAM_READ(rhandler)
AM_READ(SMH_RAM) AM_WRITE(whandler) -> AM_RAM_WRITE(whandler)
AM_DEVREAD(tag, rhandler) AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM)
-> AM_RAM_DEVREAD(tag, rhandler)
AM_READ(SMH_RAM) AM_DEVWRITE(tag, whandler)
-> AM_RAM_DEVWRITE(tag, whandler)
AM_READ(SMH_ROM) -> AM_ROM
AM_WRITE(SMH_ROM) -> (was a no-op)
AM_READ(SMH_NOP) -> AM_READNOP
AM_WRITE(SMH_NOP) -> AM_WRITENOP
AM_READWRITE(SMH_NOP, SMH_NOP) -> AM_NOP
For dynamic memory handler installation of the various types,
use the new functions:
memory_unmap_read()
memory_unmap_write()
memory_unmap_readwrite() -- unmaps a section of address space
memory_nop_read()
memory_nop_write()
memory_nop_readwrite() -- nops a section of address space
Cleaned up the internals of the address_map_entry structure, and
also normalized the way the address map macros work to remove a
lot of redundancy.

Enclosed is a patch file with the following updates.
* Added the board xtal's for Battlantis, Contra and Pandora's Palace (I did
not verify if cpu's/sound chips are using the correct clock speed though.)
* Added indication of an undumped pal for Contra/Gryzor
* Added pal dumps for Cruis'n USA - rev L4.1 (one pal could not be dumped.)
* Corrected the mcu dump for Pandora's Palace
* Added information on the PROM from the 2 Board version of Congo Bongo
All dumps have been previously forwarded to The Dumping Union.

Subject: [patch] Fix srcclean to handle strings
To: submit@mamedev.org
Cc: atariace@hotmail.com
Hi mamedev,
I noticed an odd case in src2html.c where tabs were converted to
spaces unnecessarily. Turns out srcclean does not track quoted
strings, so an embedded comment in a string will be treated the same
as a comment. Attached is a patch to fix this.
~aa
P.S. The *.lay files could use a run through srcclean.

Oggetto: hng64 additive tilemap blending debug
not very optimal, but some debug-key based support for this.
t/y/u/i enable / disable additive blend mode for the tilemaps.
note, when drawing onto a black background the tilemap will look exactly
the same, because black + colour = colour ;-)
the most obvious use are the effects layers in the samurai games, used
for a light beam effect, and snow / storm effects.
I don't know how the hw enables it.
Changed all memory_bank_* functions to specify a tag.
Bulk-converted existing banks to be tagged "bank##" in
order to ensure consistency. However, going forward, the
tags don't matter, so please name them something useful.
Added AM_BANK_READ/AM_BANK_WRITE macros to let you specify
bank tags. Also changed AM_ROMBANK and AM_RAMBANK macros to
accept tags as well.
Added new functions memory_install_read_bank_handler and
memory_install_write_bank_handler to install banks by tag
name, similar to input ports.
Changed internals of memory system to dynamically allocate
all banks. The first time a bank with an unknown tag is
installed, a new bank object is created and tracked
internally. Removed all SMH_BANK(n) references outside of
the main code; these should never, ever be useful anymore.
