To use the MiNT library enclosed herein, you will need either the MiNT
include files (see mntinc18.zoo) or a very recent version of the GNU
library include files; I haven't tested the latter option myself, but
if you go this route rename the gnu.olb and gnu16.olb in this archive
to mint.olb and mint16.olb respectively, and use the -mint flag to
gcc to link with them.

Personally, I use the MiNT libraries for everything (replacing the gcc
libraries entirely) since 99% of the functions also work under TOS,
and the 1% that don't are things like fork() and pipe() that one
wouldn't really expect to work in a single-tasking OS.

There are no docs; I recommend getting the source code (see mntlib18.zoo)
and using that. The documentation for the gcc library applies to a
lot of this library, too, so you could get that; and a good book on
Unix and ANSI C programming would help a lot.

The library is based on the gcc library that Jwahar Bammi and I put together.
Lots of people have contributed to it, including (but not limited to):

Jwahar Bammi, Kai-Uwe Bloem, John R. Dunning, Doug Gwyn, Dave Gymer,
Alan Hourihane, Allan Pratt, Arnold D. Robbins, Edgar Roeder, Rich Salz,
Dale Schumacher, Eric Smith, Henry Spencer, and Stephen Usher.

I've hacked on things quite a bit, so if they're broken don't blame the
original authors, blame me.
