Richard Barry 6568ba6eb0 Notes:
+ The MPU port is not supported in this revision number.
+ The documentation for the static allocation functions in the header files has not yet been updated for this revision.

Kernel updates:
+ Simplify the static allocation of objects implementation.
+ Introduce configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION in addition to the existing configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION so FreeRTOS can be built without providing a heap at all.

Demo application updates:
+ Update the demos to take into account the new configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION constant.
+ Add an MSVC demo that only uses static allocation, and does not include a FreeRTOS heap.
+ Update the MSVC project to use both configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION and configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION.
+ Update the MingW project to use only configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION.

Directories:

+ FreeRTOS/source contains the FreeRTOS real time kernel source code.

+ FreeRTOS/demo contains a pre-configured demo project for every official 
  FreeRTOS port.
  
+ See http://www.freertos.org/a00017.html for full details of the FreeRTOS
  directory structure and information on locating the files you require.

  + FreeRTOS-Plus contains additional FreeRTOS components and third party 
  complementary products.  THESE ARE LICENSED SEPARATELY FROM FreeRTOS although
  all contain open source options.  See the license files in each respective
  directory for information.
  
+ FreeRTOS-Plus/Demo contains pre-configured demo projects for the FreeRTOS-Plus 
  components.  Most demo projects run in a Windows environment using the 
  FreeRTOS windows simulator.  These are documented on the FreeRTOS web site 
  http://www.FreeRTOS.org/plus

Further readme files are contains in sub-directories as appropriate.
  
The easiest way to use FreeRTOS is to start with one of the pre-configured demo 
application projects (found in the FreeRTOS/Demo directory).  That way you will
have the correct FreeRTOS source files included, and the correct include paths
configured.  Once a demo application is building and executing you can remove
the demo application file, and start to add in your own application source
files.
