Pour Asimut:

- Corrections de divers Bugs au niveau de la gestion des 'u'
      (evaluation des gex foireuse).

    - Ajout de Warning lors des conflits d'ecriture

    - Gestion de l'Affichage depend du format de patterns reconnu.

    - Verif de l'absence de delais sur les registres
      Warning plus mise a 0 des delais + ajout de l'option -bufreg

    - options plus courtes : exemple -zd au lieu de -zerodelay

    - Modifs des fonctions de resolution Mux et Wor qui maintenant
      donnent un 'u' quand il n'y a pas de driver actif.

Pour les patterns :

    - Corrections de divers Bugs au niveau de la compil. des patterns.

    - Gestion du temps plus restricve : 2 formats autorises :
         - L'ancien format, aucune date ne doit apparaitre
         - Le nouveau format, toutes les dates doivent apparaitre
           et doivent etre strictement croissantes.
           ATTENTION : si le 1er pattern n'a pas de date specifiee,
           le compilateur deduit que c'est un ancien format de pat.

    - Ajout du mode PAT_TIME__VU pour PAT_TIMEUNIT afin de distinguer
      les anciens fichiers de facon propre

    - Ajout du mode PAT_TIME__VU pour PAT_TIMEUNIT afin de distinguer
      les anciens fichiers de facon propre.

    - modifs du driver pour driver ancien/nouveau format en fonction
      de PAT_TIMEUNIT. Les patterns au temps 0 ne sont plus drives
      sans champs date.

Pour genpat :

    - ajout de la fonction SETTUNIT qui permet d'indiquer l'unite de temps

    - ajout d'un champs dans DECLAR et ARRAY pour permettre des SPY.

Les Mans :

    - Mise a jour de toutes ces petites choses.
