Hi mamedev,
This patch add some missing header declarations and static qualifiers,
and adjusts a few names. In the core, it adds validity.h for
consistency as well as an explicit foo.h in each foo.c.

Fixed knights rom labels [Dlfrsilver]
Note: the eeprom bug seems a bit weird (only half of the games are affected) and I'm still not sure if the problem is in the input_port_write code (some mask issue?) or in cps1.c...
however, using a device write handler seems an acceptable workaround (and the issue is clearly mentioned in the source)
* moved a few routines (used for sorting graphics layers) to konicdev.c since they are shared by several drivers
* added driver data struct to ajax.c and aliens.c
* added driver data struct + save states to: asterix.c, bishi.c, blockhl.c, bottom9.c, chqflag.c, crimfght.c, dbz.c,
gbusters.c, gijoe.c, lethal.c, mainevt.c, moo.c, overdriv.c, parodius.c,
rollerg.c, rungun.c, simpsons.c, spy.c, surpratk.c, tail2nos.c, thunderx.c,
tmnt.c, ultraman.c, vendetta.c, xexex.c and xmen.c
* updated some Konami drivers above to separately allocate palette/extra/work RAM instead of appending them to maincpu ROM; also, reduced maincpu rom regions where appropriate
* replaced memory_set_bankptr with memory_set_bank where necessary
Added PCB layout for PROMAT bootleg hardward used by Wiggie Waggie and Super Bar [Brian Troha]
New Clone Added
-----------------------------
Super Bar [Brian Troha, David Haywood, Dumping Union]
- Changed INLINE to map to "static inline"
- (Windows only) Made -static-libgcc standard for both 32-bit and 64-bit
- (Windows only) Some fixes for MSVC builds
00266: Add dynamic bank configuration for pre/post line blending, fixes gradient in daraku and fades on special moves and adds (more) effects to soldivid

Vortex [tormod, Team Europe, Smitdogg, The Dumping Union]
This one appears to use an encrypted 8080. Do any decryption gurus fancy a challenge? :)
Verified and corrected clocks in halleys and exctsccr [Corrado Tomaselli]

Exciting Soccer (Japan set 2) [Corrado Tomaselli]
NOTES NOT IN WHATSNEW:
This makes all games in hng64.c display a good amount of 3d.
The read handler I modified definitely seems to have something to do with
the missing 3d in these games. It's only read if the frame being drawn
is missing geometry. My new hack is a lucky guess, but hopefully we'll
figure out what this function is really looking for sometime soon.

Fun Station Spielekoffer 9 Spiele [Tomasz Slanina]
==================================================
MAME crashes if I return a latch at 0x800100? HD ACRT bug?
1. Removed CPP_COMPILE option. All files (except expat and zlib)
are now compiled as C++ by default. For now, imagine nothing has
changed. The goal is not to go hog-wild with C++isms, but to
leverage it where it makes the most sense.
2. Mapped INLINE to plain old C++ inline now, fixing several
cases where this was problematic.
3. Marked global const structures explicitly extern since consts
are locally-scoped by default in C++.
4. Added new 'default' make target which just builds the emulator.
Use 'make all' to build everything including the tools.
5. 64-bit builds now get a '64' suffix on them. We might want to
just make this true for Windows builds, but it's on for everyone
at the moment.
6. (Windows) Removed UNICODE option. UNICODE is enabled by default
on all Windows builds now. The 32-bit version links against
libunicows.a for continued Win9x compatibility.
7. (Windows) Removed hacks surrounding unicode handling of main().
They are no longer necessary with the new tools.

to use driver_data

Hi mamedev,
This is a resubmit of my last driver_data patch. It should be
non-controversial, although it contains some additional whitespace
cleanup in the affected files.
