Add FOX Toolkit 1.7.90

Package name

FOX Toolkit 1.7.90

Brief description of package

It is the latest in-development version of FOX Toolkit 1.7.x series.

The FOX Toolkit's vocabulary is strange:

• DEVELOPMENT == currently maintained
• STABLE = legacy

So don't fear that FOX Toolkit 1.7.90 is DEVELOPMENT, not STABLE!

This particular release of FOX Toolkit 1.7.x series is important because:

• Starting with version 1.7.90, FOX no longer uses Windows Registry; instead, it writes its files in user-friendly .ini format, under normally hidden APPDATA directory; this makes copying configurations between Windows and Linux much easier, and also allows hand-editing some configurations.

My own notes:

• Even if I regenerate the configure script using MSYS2's autoconf -v -f -i, it stills fail to build on Clang-based environments due to lld not supporting linker script.
