OK, fixing that interrupt bug was worth making a new
release, so people didn't keep crashing their computers.

While I was at it, I started a ChangeLog at the main
directory level, and made some simple changes.  From
the ChangeLog:

  - (KPL) I added irq16 vector to the init_monitor() call.
    If you pass a 0, no irq16 redirect handler is installed.
    Irq16 is the APIC IPI interrupt, which is used on multiple
    processor compiles of Linux (SMP).  The code is untested.
    In kernel/include/host-linux.h, I do this:

    #ifdef __SMP__
    #  define IRQ16_BASE_VECTOR 0x30  // IPI vector
    #else
    #  define IRQ16_BASE_VECTOR 0     // IPI not used on non-SMP
    #endif

    Let me know if this makes this code work on your SMP
    Linux machine.

  - (KPL) Fixed the previous interrupt bug, thanks to a find
    by Ulrich and Ramon.

Oh yeah, and in the spirit of Y2K madness, I changed the
file naming convention to use 4 digits. :^)

BTW, do you folks like using dates or version numbers for
releases?
