Hi all!!

Yesterday I commited to the CVS some experimental swap support code,
based on Alan's work on the subject. Ofcourse this code is not included
in the default configuration and is not for _actual_ use, since as I
said is experimental. Apart from that if you set the swap partition in
malloc.c you and enable swapping you can enjoy an 8086 system use
_virtual_ memory! 

I also added a utility named "meminfo" in the elkscmd package under the
sys_utils directory to monitor the memory usage.
