SWI-Prolog maintenance scripts

This directory contains various scripts used for regular maintenance and managing releases. Some are old and merely kept for reference. See also doc/Release.md. Some actively used scripts:

newversion Used to update the SWI-Prolog version. Edit VERSION in the top-dir and run scripts/newversion to update SWI-Prolog.h,man/main.doc and set a GIT release tag on the repo and its submodules.
mkchangelog [--no-date] [version] Generate the changelog. Without arguments dump changes since the last release to stdout. After generating a release, the changelog is generated using the command below. Use the previous version.
```
scripts/mkchangelog --no-date 9.1.20
```
make-distribution Intended to be sourced. Defines functions to build and upload a release. Needs editing when used outside by build machines.
make-src-tape Create a .tar.gz file from the GIT repo and its submodules. See script for options. Normally used through make-distribution

configure Sets CMake flags depending on the name of the build directory as build.feature1-feature2-.... See script for details. For example:

mkdir build.pgo cd build.pgo ../scripts/configure
swipl-activate [--installed] Activate the Prolog from the current build directory in $HOME/bin. By default from the build dir, using --installed from the installed location.
