medley document SYSEDIT and EXPORTS.ALL

I think we need to document SYSEDIT and what's for. I would not be surprised if there's a lispusers file that would need it loaded in order to compile.

Also add makesysout/loadup_exports.sh to gather new EXPORTS.ALL when new sources are added.

scripts/loadup-aux makes new exports.all in the tmp directory. copy-all copies it to library

ABC vs SYSEDIT -- who used which?

SYSEDIT was mentioned in one of the list of Medley files for release (1.x? 2.0? look in the envos files), while ABC was not, and was in internal/library.

You might be able to deduce something more from the settings of the various flags.

How to work on Medley lisp files? The development of maiko is pretty clear, but the development of Medley lisp is very opaque. We should start with a FAQ and build an outline of what newcomers need to know.

SYSEDIT is documented in library/SysEdit.tedit.
