Known problems for EPICS snc/seq version 2.0.11

Here's an entry for the 'known problems' file:

Summary:

Because of an interaction between the build rules and the C
preprocessor sequencer programs which are preprocessed ('.st' files)
must have

	%%#include <vxWorks.h>

changed to

	%%#include "vxWorks.h"

Details:

The R3.14 build rules invoke the C preprocessor with '-DvxWorks' for
vxWorks targets.  This will cause sequence program lines which refer
to <vxWorks.h> to be expanded to <1 .h>.  This then causes errors when
the compiler attempts to deal with these lines.

    Folks,
    
    I am having problems building seq 2-0-11 for win32-x86.
    
    In all other modules if I create a file called RELEASE.win32-x86 it uses
    that file to define the locations of other modules, including base.
    
    However, if I do this in the latest version of seq, it does not work. It
    appears to be using RELEASE, not RELEASE.win32-x86.
    
Solution:

    The following fix is needed for seq version 2-0-11 only.
    
    Rename your RELEASE.<epics_host_arc> file to RELEASE.<epics_host_arc>.Common
    
    or, if you prefer, make the following changes to the configure/CONFIG file:
    
    Index: CONFIG
