+ - fixed a typo in the recipe for `install' that copied libreadline.a
+ to libhistory.old right after installing it
+
+ 4/27
+ ----
+doc/Makefile.in
+ - install {readline,history}.info out of the source directory if

+
+ 8/3
+ ---
+shlib/Makefile.in
+ - made the suffix rule that creates xx.so from xx.c write the
+ compiler output to `a.o', which is then mv'd to xx.so, because
+ some compilers (Sun WSpro 4.2, for example) don't allow any

+
+ 12/31
+ -----
+MANIFEST, MANIFEST.doc
+ - the TOC html files are no longer generated and no longer part of
+ the distribution
+

+
+ 4/8
+ ---

+ ---
+support/shlib-install
+ - OSF/1 installs shared libraries like Solaris
+
+Makefile.in
+ - broke the header file install and uninstall into two new targets:
+ install-headers and uninstall-headers
+ - install and uninstall depend on install-headers and uninstall-headers
+ respectively
+ - changed install-shared and uninstall-shared targets to depend on
+ install-headers and uninstall-headers, respectively, so users may
+ choose to install only the shared libraries. I'm not sure about
+ the uninstall one yet -- maybe it should check whether or not
+ the static libraries are installed and not remove the header files
+ if they are
+
+ 9/3

+ 8/30
+ ----
+shlib/Makefile.in

+ ----
+compat.c
+ - new file, with backwards-compatibility function definitions
+
+Makefile.in,shlib/Makefile.in
+ - make sure that compat.o/compat.so are built and linked apppropriately
+
+support/shobj-conf
+ - picked up bash version, which means that shared libs built on
+ linux and BSD/OS 4.x will have an soname that does not include
+ the minor version number
+
+ 11/13
+ -----
+examples/rlfe.c
+ - rlfe can perform filename completion for relative pathnames in the
+ inferior process's context if the OS supports /proc/PID/cwd (linux
+ does it OK, Solaris is slightly warped, none of the BSDs have it)
