[z88dk-dev] Source code migration to github

Following the 1.99B release we've migrated the source code from CVS to git. The new location for repositories is http://github.com/z88dk

Moving to git should increase visibility and make it easier for us to perform a long overdue restructuring of the code tree.

The only things we're now using on Sourceforge are:

* File releases
* Mailing lists

Should we migrate also the Wiki pages to Github?

Can we do the same level of formatting as with the current wiki?
https://www.z88dk.org/wiki/doku.php?id= ... e_binaries

If it ever gets written / cleaned up the wiki will be quite large. I'm not sure how that fits with github -- I don't have much experience with github so I don't know what's possible and what's normal to do.

Certainly at minimum we need to have some simple instructions for install, getting / building binaries, getting / building libraries so people can download or clone and get the system running. For linux users, it's all easy. For windows not so much since windows users rarely have msys or cygwin installed (you can build most binaries with vs2015 and the new c lib from the windows shell but the classic lib needs more).
