I made the input hrompt use the CPC ROM line-editing code, that saves a lot of string allocations and also allows full cursor control, backspace, etc to work.<br>Reorganized the sources a bit so the imagebuilder is runnable from the main git branch, makind coordinated changes to the vm and image easier.<br>The bad news: my context recycling code doesn't work, I think. One context ends up being corrupt and crashes the VM.</p>
