+	  some compilers (Sun WSpro 4.2, for example) don't allow any
+	  suffixes other than `.o' for `cc -c' (not even `a.out')
+
+				   9/15
+				   ----
+
+Makefile.in
+	- AR and ARFLAGS are now substituted by configure, used in recipes
+	  that build the libraries

+
+				   4/13
+				   ----
+doc/Makefile.in
+	- add variable, PSDVI, which is the desired resolution of the

+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
+				    ---
+configure.in, config.h.in

+	- install shared libraries unwritable by anyone on HP-UX

+
+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
