Source Changes
--------------
Major Donkey Kong driver update: [couriersud]
- Implemented discrete sound from schematics: dkong, radarscp
- Implemented discrete background from schematics for radarscp and
various effects:
- blue to black to blue background
- exact priorities
- Grid will flip open and close, vertical flipping on hit.
- Changed inputs for radarscp
- Color generation from schematics (resistor mixer) for
radarscp, dkong, dkongjr and dkong3

Added new components to the discrete sound system: [couriersud]
- Added a "inverter oscillator" component. This can also be used as
a raw sine generator - needed by radarscp.
- Added a "integration circuit" based on transistor and RC
- Added a "modulated RC discharge" component.

Removed unused return value from VIDEO_START callbacks.
[Zsolt Vasvari]

Improved independence of CPU and sound core variants in order to make
them more properly separated by the existing compile-time flags.
[Atari Ace]

More TIA updates from MESS: [Wilbert Pol]
- Rewrote drawing of playing graphics
- Improved handling of player graphics reset signals
- Improved handling of HMOVE signals

Updates to Change Lanes: [Adam Bousley]
- fixed the broken graphics
- fixed the dipswitches
- hooked up the steering wheel controls
- made some changes to the sprite and text layers based on schematics

Fixed up a number of places where malloc results weren't being checked
correctly. [Atari Ace]

Renamed palette_set_color() to palette_set_color_rgb().
palette_set_color() now matches palette_get_color() and deals in
rgb_t data only. Also changed palette_set_colors() to deal with rgb_t
data instead of R,G,B triples. [Aaron Giles]

Flattened colormap and palette in the 1942 driver. [Aaron Giles]

Removed usage of unsigned char/short/int from the drivers code in
favor of UINT8/UINT16/UINT32.
