ooc-970924 & oo2c-1.2.12

[acken@informatik.uni-kl.de]

oo2c
* new localization support (various Loc* modules) by Mike Griebling
* X11 modules are now compatible with VisualOberon
* fixes in TextRider, Calendar, Locales, and Complex math modules
* compilation is faster for modules with lots of constants (like Blowfish)
* unreachablie code elimination is back again (actually it's back 
  since 1.2.11)
* garbage collector has been updated to gc4.12

ftp server
* bzip compressed files on cognac have been replaced with bzip2 compressed
  ones; bzip2 is patent free and therefore not backwards compatible to the 
  old bzip; bzip2 sources are on cognac in pub/ooc/misc; the home page is 
  http://www.muraroa.demon.co.uk/
