[LAU] [ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.0 - The End of Winter'18 release

[Rui Nuno Capela]

Ahoy there!

The 'Vee One Suite' of so called 'old-school' software instruments,
synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a
polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit
sampler and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are once
again released just before the season ends.

As before, all available in dual standard forms:<ul>
- a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session
management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support;
- a LV2 instrument plug-in [8].

The changes for this end-of-season goes as follows:
- Introducing Scala micro-tuning classes, borrowed, stirred and
refactored from original Nick Dowell's amsynth code, all under the GPL
umbrella, of course.
- An internal note-key/frequency indirection table is now in place, as a
baseline for any micro-tuning implementations.
- Whether to use native file browser/requester dialogs is now an
effective option when launching under NSM session management (was once
disabled initially).
- Initializing and/or requesting a New blank preset doesn't open a
sample file picker dialog anymore as it was more than nagging while
under on NSM sessions. (applies to samplv1 [2] only).
- Trying to get CC14 MSB+LSB (course+fine) running status on, no matter
whether each pairing event are under 200ms apart.
- A little hardening on the configure (autoconf) macro side.

In order of (historical) appearance:
