Merge of the ros-csrss branch created with a three-fold purpose:

- Use the new Windows-compatible Client-Server Runtime Subsystem (csrss + csrsrv)
written by Alex Ionescu to replace the old hacked one. Also the CSR client part,
residing in ntdll, is updated. Some work also done on the dlls side, which
communicate with CSR, namely kernel32.

- Replace our very old win32csr.dll CSR server by the collection basesrv.dll /
winsrv.dll as it is done under Windows.

- Since the console subsystem is (for historical purposes on Windows) the
only subsystem which exploits all the possibilities of the CSR, I decided to
put it in a new CSR dll called 'consrv.dll', even if on Windows it is included
together with other APIs inside the winsrv dll (since Windows NT 3.1 release)
(I took the name 'consrv' from the dll where it was included in Windows NT 3.1
beta from October 1991). Some work was also done on its internal architecture
(the external interface is of course unchanged for compatibility reasons) and a
two-layer approach was developed, using the existing idea of console functions +
GUI or TUI we already had in win32csr:
	* the "console server" which dialogs with the console applications,
and which maintains a list of all the created consoles.
	* different "front-ends" corresponding to where you want to output
the information (~= console hardware) (Work-In-Progress).
Another idea would be to make those front-ends dynamically-loadable (instead
of being compiled inside consrv).
- I also fixed some parts of the console properties dialog box.

========================
ReactOS Version 0.3.x
Updated Dec 16, 2006
========================

1. What is ReactOS?

   ReactOS is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system
that is compatible with Windows NT applications and drivers.

   The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows XP/2003
drivers compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with
older version of Windows NT family ( NT 4.0, 2000 (NT 5.0)) and new
Windows NT releases (Vista, etc). Applications (Win32 API) compatibility
focus is Windows XP.

More information is available at http://www.reactos.org/.

2. Building ReactOS

See the INSTALL file for more details.

3. More information

See the media\doc subdirectory for some sparse notes.

4. Who is responsible

See the CREDITS file.
