Software information: Bonus binaries

This is a set of bonus applications and modules primarily of interest to developers. It is a bleeding-edge build which comes from the latest revisions of all the relevant sources in our source code repository and is completely untested.

Beware that some of the components have fallen into a state of disrepair, lack internationalisation or are anachronistic in some other way and are thus considered unsuitable for inclusion on the standard HardDisc4 image.
