2001-09-22: NetBSD/atari switches to ELF

Thomas Gerner has committed changes to convert the NetBSD/atari port to ELF. With the COMPAT_AOUT_M68K kernel option, all your old a.out binaries should still work. Note that a.out versions of ifconfig(8) and route(8) will not work due to some structure alignment problems.
