of a AUTO. This allows programs to more easily replace the text inline.
**** Improve tracing to allow smaller files, rollover, inlining child traces.
* SystemPerl 1.000 2001/11/16
** Moved Netlist guts into Verilog package,
made SystemPerl a derived class. This allows mixed-mode netlists.

for testing package without SystemPerl installed.
* SystemPerl 0.430 2001/9/26
** Added #sp include directive. [Experimental, some crashes]
** AUTOMETHODS is the new name for AUTODECLS
AUTOMETHODS will create a SC_CTOR(__MODULE__); if there is not
already one in the class interface.
** AUTOTRACE uses a internal library to trace ports.
AUTOTRACE should work on all clocks, ports, arrays, etc, and
any simple types marked with SP_TRACED.
AUTOTRACE requires AUTOMETHODS to be used in the class interface.
** The #include systemperl.h at the top of all .h files has been removed.
It must be included manually. This allows systemperl to be used in
non-systemc applications.
*** AUTOENUM ascii() method implementations are now put in the .cpp
rather than the .h file. This is indicated by a AUTOIMPLEMENTATION
section, which is inserted automatically at the bottom of the .cpp
file if not elsewhere in the file.
*** Detect and report unterminated strings, automodes, comment blocks.
*** Handle character constants ('a', '\0'). Handle octal and hex
escape sequences in strings and char-constants.
*** Handle nested typenames (e.g. sc_out<ClassFoo::EnumBar>).
* SystemPerl 0.420 2001/6/27
** Added AUTOSUBCELL_INCLUDE and AUTOSUBCELL_CLASS
** Extracted SystemC::Template for other programs needing #line'd files.
** Comments are now properly extracted for signals & ports.
Note such comments must begin on the same line as the declaration.
*** Fixed extra #line statements in output files.
*** Added directional comment to /*AUTOINST*/ created pins.
*** Fixed bug with recognizing sc_inouts. [Amir Sahar]
* SystemPerl 0.410 2001/5/21
** Added AUTOTRACE for creating trace statements for all signals.
** Added sp_includer and sp_makecheck for faster SystemPerl compiles.

This is useful for hierarchical sp_preproc'essing.
* SystemPerl 0.400 2001/5/4
** Added AUTOENUM_* for ascii displays of enum values.
** Added SP_CTOR_IMP for constructors outside of the class decl.
** Added SP_CELL_DECL, and allowed arrayed cell declarations.

*** Fixed test on Solaris Linux.
**** The debugging dump methods are now ->dump, not ->print.
* SystemPerl 0.300 2001/4/3
** sc_clocks are now recognized as signal declarations.
** sc_main is considered similar to a SC_MODULE(sc_main)
