Description:
Updated RELEASE.txt to reflect support for 64-bit Windows. Also updated the testing table, and removed some old Windows-related issues that are no longer present.
No testing needed.
Change back to clearing memory buffers by default, but give users option
to disable this, for performance reasons (--disable-clear-file-buffers).
Also, add configure option (--enable-using-memchecker) to conveniently
control making the library "play nice" with memory checking tools like valgrind
and purify.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.4.9 (amazon)
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty)
Linux/32 2.6 (kagiso)
