	  autoconf set the value itself in the Makefile
	- removed a stray `-' before $(RANLIB) in the `install' recipe

doc/Makefile.in
	- add a VPATH assignment so the documentation is not remade if it's
	  already up-to-date in the distribution

configure.in
	- call AC_SUBST(LOCAL_LDFLAGS), since Makefile.in contains
	  @LOCAL_LDFLAGS@

[readline-2.2 released]

				   4/20
				   ----
Makefile.in

	- 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
	  they are not found in the current (build) directory -- only an
	  issue if the libraries are built in a different directory than
	  the source directory

				    5/1
				    ---
support/shobj-conf
	- script from the bash distribution to do shared object and library
	  configuration

Makefile.in
	- bumped SHLIB_MAJOR up to 4 since we've augmented the library

				    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
	  suffixes other than `.o' for `cc -c' (not even `a.out')

				   9/15
				   ----

				   10/28
				   -----
shlib/Makefile.in

	- the TOC html files are no longer generated and no longer part of
	  the distribution

				 2/18/1999

Makefile.in,shlib/Makefile.in
	- add dependencies on xmalloc.h, rlshell.h

	- add dependencies on rlprivate.h

				   4/13
				   ----
doc/Makefile.in
	- add variable, PSDVI, which is the desired resolution of the
	  generated postscript files.  Set to 300 because I don't have
	  any 600-dpi printers
	- set LANGUAGE= before calling makeinfo, so messages are in English
	- add rluserman.{info,dvi,ps,html} to appropriate variables

				    5/5
				    ---
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
	- change the soname bound into the shared libraries, so it includes
	  only the major version number.  If it includes the minor version,

				   ----
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)

				    8/7
				    ---
support/shlib-install

				   10/29

	  that call readline in a shared library that can be interposed with
	  LD_PRELOAD

				   7/27
				   ----
[readline-5.0 released]

				   11/15
				   -----
examples/rlfe/{ChangeLog,Makefile.in,README,config.h.in,configure,configure.in,extern.h,os.h,pty.c,rlfe.c,screen.h}

				 1/23/2005
				 ---------
configure.in
        - set BUILD_DIR to contain backslashes to escape any spaces in the
          directory name -- this is what make will accept in targets and
          prerequisites, so it's better than trying to use double quotes

				   2/25
				   ----
configure.in
	- change check for sys/ptem.h to include sys/stream.h if present, to
	  avoid the `present but cannot be compiled' messages on Solaris and

	  themselves are not built using shared libraries.  Report from
	  <hiroo.hayashi@computer.org>

support/shobj-conf
	- [from bash] darwin: changed the install_name embedded into the
	  shared library to contain only the major version number, not the
	  minor one. The idea is that the minor versions should all be API/ABI
	  compatible, and it is better to link automatically with the latest
	  one.  Idea from Max Horn <max@quendi.de>

config.h.in
	- use correct symbols: HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_INO, HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_FILENO
	  HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_NAMLEN.  They don't really matter, but they are
	  what posixdir.h looks for.  Report from Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com>
