Log Message:
Update of swi-prolog to 4.0.5.

VERSION 4.0.5
=============

  * FIXED: Actually make re-hashing predicates work.  This bug causes
    large (dynamic) predicates that are queried while they are build
    to show linear rather than constant-time access behaviour.  Perfomance
    difference on victim programs can be dramatic!

  * ENHANCED: GNU-readline interface.  Detect useful additions from readline
    4.2, avoid type-conflicts and handle re-entrance through XPCE much more
    cleanly as well as aborts.

  * PORT: Many C-compiler warnings, making the native IRIX cc compile
    SWI-Prolog silently.  Improved detection of wait() variations.
    Thanks to Jean Wang for providing me with access to their machine.

  * ENHANCED: Handling of prolog_edit:select_location/3.  Enhancement
    exploited by XPCE to use GUI-based selection if running from GUI.

  * ADDED: -s file to load a script-file in addition to the user
    initialisation file.

  * ADDED: -q commandline option to make the system operate silently.

  * ADDED: PrologScript support using #!, providing direct scripting
    in Unix and additional parameters on MS-Windows.

  * FIXED: Wipe the anonymous clauses for meta-calling on $dcall/1 as
    soon as possible.  Reported by Stefan Mueller.

  * ADDED: Save home in saved-state for class development and kernel.  This
    enables saved-states to find the installed SWI-Prolog.  Especially
    useful for Windows.

  * ADDED: Save default stack limits in the Windows registry and add a
    menu item to the manpce/0 File/Edit Preferences menu to manage these
    registry settings.
