Hi all,

I have tagged a new release for Gerbil, making it to v0.5.
This release brings a revamped build system with a faster initial
build.sh time and a bunch of new (optionally built) ffi libraries.

More detailed changes since v0.4:
- Revamped build system
  - by default, build.sh builds a stage1 gerbil for faster build times
  - std/make now supports dependency graphs
  - std/build-config for optionally built libraries with foreign dependencies
  - std/build builds with depgraph and optional libraries
  - std/xml is now optionally built to avoid hard dependency on libxml2
- Optionally built libraries with foreign dependencies
  - std/text/yaml: YAML support with libyaml bindings
  - std/text/zlib: zlib support for compression/decompression
  - std/db/sqlite: sqlite3 database interface
- std/db/dbi: generic database interface
- bug fixes and small improvements

As usual, the code is on Github:
