Re: Interactive $d EMIT does LF

The real difference is between BDM (ColdFire and CPU32) and non-BDM XTL
output character handling. The SwiftForth debug window (SwiftX is a
SwiftForth application and inherits its debug window) does handle <CR> and
<LF> characters correctly. However, the SwiftX serial XTL was trapping the
<CR> character and calling CR. This dates back to the oldest SwiftX
implementation which was not sitting on a SwiftForth. The former Forth host
did not handle those characters correctly, so the special handling was
needed and up until now nobody cared.

There is obviously no good reason to perpetuate that, so we'll remove it and
update *ALL* the targets and cross-compilers in the next SwiftX release.

BTW, the current SwiftX version is 3.2.7. We expect the next maintenance
release (3.2.8) to be out next week pending the addition of a new ARM
target.
