Change behaviour of --format=raw; old behaviour kept for --format=raw2
Make the default --format=raw output just ignore BSS flagged sections. If
you put any in the middle of your code, your output file will break. Don't
do dumb things like that.
If you really need the old behaviour, change to --format=raw2
Neither behaviour is really ideal but doing the "right" thing is a boatload
more complicated and is still going to do the wrong thing from time to time.
Most situations will likely load the BSS sections with separate link script
directives anyway or be assembling directly to raw without using the linker.

With LWTOOLS 4.0, a substantial reorganization of the project has occurred. This document serves to explain the reasoning behind the various changes. The most obvious change is that the gnu auto tools have been eliminated. While they proved useful for initial distribution of the software, particularly for construction of the win32 binaries, they have since proved to add an unacceptable level of complexity to every aspect of development from merely tinkering with source files to doing complete releases. Thus, the auto tools have been ditched in favour of specific hand tuned help where required. The other substantial change is that the source code repository has been recreated from scratch. The old repository was full of cruft from various revision control systems that were used over the years (CVS, Subversion, and Mercurial). It was felt that starting a new Mercurial repository with a completely clean slate would simplify matters substantially. Thus, the old repository now serves as an archive.
