* unix/README:

	* unix/Makefile.in (dist): removed porting.notes and porting.old
	from distribution and CVS.  The information was very outdated.  Now
	refer to http://dev.scriptics.com/services/support/platforms.html

	* tests/unixInit.test: fixed japanese LANG encoding test [Bug: 3549]

	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.m4: correct CFLAG_WARNING setting,
	fixed gcc config for AIX,
	added -export-dynamic to LDFLAGS for FreeBSD-3+ [Bug: 2998]

	* win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpLoadFile): improved error message for load
	failures, could perhaps be even more intelligent.
