## Summary:

Bugfixes and minor feature enhancements.

## Details:

Libraries:
  - Fixed bug regarding the copy function in `*array-slice.sml` modules.
  - Refactored the pretty printing library. The declarative way to construct pretty-printing descriptions now sits on top of the `PP_STREAM interface`.
  - Removed `onNewline` function, which was not implemented.
  - Added `ANSITerm` structure, which provides support for ANSI terminal display attributes (e.g., red text).
  - Added `ANSITermDev` device that uses ANSI terminal display attributes and added a `ANSITermPP` for pretty printing to such a device.
Runtime system:
  - Support for HPUX 11 added. (There is still a problem, though.)
  - Updated Cygwin's fault/signal handling.
