Split this port into two pieces, with most of the work now being done by

the new "modula-3-lib" port.  The split allows one to save a lot of
disk space by installing only the shared libraries needed for executing
programs.  The full "modula-3" port is needed only if you want to
compile programs as well.

 This is a port of Modula-3 release 3.6, from DEC Systems Research
 Center.  Modula-3 is a modern compiled programming language designed
-for systems programming as well as large applications.  Some notable
-features include:
-
-    * A clean type system with good support for object-oriented
-      programming.
-    * A powerful module system.
-    * Lightweight threads, fully integrated into the language and all of
-      the libraries.
-    * Generics.
-    * Exceptions.
-    * Automatic storage management by a multithreaded, incremental,
-      generational garbage collector.
-    * Guaranteed type safety, plus the ability to confine unsafe code
-      behind safe interfaces.
-    * Elegance and simplicity, even compared with less powerful
-      languages such as C++ and Ada.
-    * Ease of integration with existing C libraries.
-    * A huge collection of runtime libraries, providing:
-	- Text manipulation.
-	- Generic containers (lists, sequences, tables, etc.).
-	- Atoms and symbolic expressions.
-	- An extensible stream I/O system.
-	- Persistent objects.
-	- Operating system interfaces.
-	- Networking.
-	- Very nice object-oriented graphics facilities, and some
-	  convenient tools for building GUIs.
-    * A convenient browser.
