CPC 1.7 change list number 27 etc.

[Josef Templ]

Number 27 (and following) in the CPC 1.7 rc5 change list is a collection of multiple sub-issues,
where each sub-issue is again a collection of multiple sub-sub-issues.
By linearizing all of them we end up with a huge administration and voting overhead.
My proposal would be to sum up each sub-issue in one redmine issue
but to provide a separate commit for each sub-sub-issue.
Thereby we can still see the involved sub-sub-issues in the repository but
can catch up with CPC 1.7 much faster.

Any objections?

Since number 27 touches HostFiles, an old requirement popped up again which is not yet covered in CPC 1.7.
For the build engine we need a separate version of HostFiles only for the trivial task of
suppressing the Yes/No dialogs when creating new directories. These dialogs are also annoying
when rebuilding BB locally. A simple solution would be to add a flag (dontAsk) into module
Files. When set to TRUE, all dialogs in HostFiles are suppressed. There would be no change for
regular BB users.

Let's unite issues in a way they can be checked. So if there are not many changes about the same, they can be united.
