[hpsdr] Code::Blocks and SDCC for OZY firmware

[Robert McGwier]

I played with Code::Blocks for an our last night.   I built a 4 
different button GUI in wxWidgets, and did a very quick OpenGL hack that 
rotated a cube from code I had gotten elsewhere.  It does appear to 
integrate nicely with SDCC and gcc.  I don't see a problem.   I am in 
the emacs environment neo-luddite crowd but for GUI development, it 
seems fine.  I didn't pay attention, does it do OSX?
