Gadutil.library version 36.0

History:
Everybody who have tried to do a program with a nice GUI have almost
certainly come across the problem; how to adjust the program based on
the font that user has selected. It began as a little test program that
should be able to adjust itself, but I soon realized that it wasn't that
easy (as I had thought).
I was almost finished with a working version of the program when I got
some other programs/libraries that did something similar.
The first program I got was MUI (Magical User Interface). It wasn't that
bad, but it was big (170k) and it was slow.
Another program was gadoutline.library, it wasn't exactly like I would
want, and it was quite big (60k).
Then, I came across the program that I liked the most: GadLayout 1.5.
I changed one pf my programs, so that it would use GadLayout, but it didn't
work. I think that was caused by my assembler didn't work with the object
file for GadLayout (I had never tried that before).
When GadLayout didn't work for me I continued with my own project, but I
changed it a bit, because I liked the way GadLayout used tags.
So I changed my program , so that it used tags instead of my own gadget
structure. I also tried to make the tags work in a similar way as
GadLayout's tags, I also used similar names for the tags (mainly so that
I didn't need to change the program I had adjusted to GadLayout so much.
