- add icon programming language
- compile rust, swift, icon, groovy and virgil as separate modules
- simplify Makefile accordingly
- handle nested block comments in koka, scala, wren and v modes
- move language syntax handling to `lang` directory
- move other modes to `modes` directory
- move tools to `tools` directory
- compile tools to `bin` directory
- bump version to 5.3alpha
- remove duplicate node names in qe-doc
- update Makefiles
- each architecture has a specific subdirectory
- object files for qe, xqe and tqe are each in an arch specific subdirectory
- libraries are generated in .objs with an arch specific name
- improve mandelbrot shell script
- add fractal.c: a fractal generator and navigator that can
be used as a terminal stress test.
- add fractal-mode for easy fractal navigation and zooming
with key bindings.
- try it out with C-h m SP / SP / SP ...
- rename font styles QE_STYLE_xxx to QE_FONT_STYLE_xxx

- added TARGET_OS and TARGET_ARCH to make specific object dirs
- no longer redefine qe_module_init in qe.c
- added tqe.c: combined source version of tiny version

executable significantly larger than tqe.
This oddity is under investigation.
