out of whatsnew:
+ fixed a small bug in handling MMC-1 games with > 8K of WRAM (only a Jpn baseball games use this,
and I can see no difference in behavior)
+ updated emulation status in xml for a few games I had made working during slot-ification
- apple3_state is no longer an unnecessary subclass of apple2_state
- ay3600 keyboard decoder is now independent from apple2_state
- cleaned up some includes
* hacked around the limitations of our PPU code, so to support the different CHR registers
* implemented Extended Attribute Mode (Ex1)
* improved PRG-RAM handling
* simplified NT-RAM handling
* first attempt to add split screen mode, still broken
out of whatsnew: this was for sake of messnew inclusion ;)

no whatsnew
the hack only deals with the way MMC-5 monitors PPU activity, not with the actual effect. when
I get to the point of completing my not-yet-abandoned PPU rewrite, the new calls in ppu2c0x.h
will go away...
a) ensures, that the interface logic is in one place and easy to understand
b) ensures, that netlists represent the hardware and not what has to be done
to hook the hardware up in MAME.
The interface part is considered to be relatively stable. Consequently, enabled netlist audio filtering in 1942.
