Ann: SWI-Prolog 5.6.47

Hi,

I've uploaded SWI-Prolog 5.6.47.  As you can see, quite some things have been
added
and fixed.  Some highlights:

        * Fix configure for MacOS Leopart.
        * Fix a real GC error in calls from Prolog -> C -> Prolog if a variable
        is created in the outer Prolog call, passed through C back to a
        recursive call in Prolog, where it is bound followed by a garbage
        collect call.  That won't happen very often :-)
        * New library predicates: partition/4,5, append/2, include/3, exclude/3,
        merge_options/3.  Probably more will follow.  Thanks for the input.
        * Added apply_macros.pl, providing compile-time expansion of some higher
        order predicates.  Experimental and incomplete.
        * Some enhancements to RDF database reload.
        * Various PlDoc issues and included documentation for more libraries into
        the PDF documentation through PlDoc LaTeX backend.

        Enjoy --- Jan

P.s. PPC MacOS installer is been created after updating Darwinports and
dependent
        packages.  This created the same Xft issues as for the Intel version Paulo
        compiles.  I've hacked around this and created an executable with the same
        dependencies (I hope ...)
