Subject: Mouseware updates

New in this update:

X11 (not versioned):

	Add support for OS-version-specific patches.  There are
	currently no such patches (I thought I wanted this and then it
	turned out I didn't need it; I left it in for the future, since
	the code in TRANSCRIPT does nothing if there are no patches for
	the build version).

	Various new patches, mostly to the X server.  Most of the
	changes are actually due to diff changing its mind about
	exactly what diff to produce for two files, but there are some
	real changes.  xauth works better.  I added some code to the
	server to help debug what looked like shared-memory problem in
	Xvfb.

compare (now at 20100329):

	Add -size-only, which doesn't compare file contents even by
	checksums (I wanted this for a special case).

	Minor whitespace touchup in a comment.

iptunnel (now at 20100308):

	Handle connection failures in TCP mode better.

libgmp (not versioned):

	Improve optimization setting choice to include uname -s.  Add
	settings for NetBSD/sparc 4.0.1 and Linux i686
	2.6.28-18-generic.

libparsedate (now at 2.6):

	Add support for an extended interface which supports fractional
	seconds.

	Document error return value.

livebackup (now at 20100708):

	Divorce the main body of the daemon from how the backup image
	is stored.  Create a version that's the historical method and
	another one which supports snapshotting.  I do not consider the
	snapshot code production-ready, but it works enough that the
	more experimentally inclined among you may want to try it.

	The wire protocol now supports sending a status string from
	client to server, where it can be queried through the admin
	interface (the client passes the same string it passes to
	setproctitle()).  It also supports a capabilities query, in an
	attempt to avoid future version bumps - the capabilities code
	also is still experimental-quality.

	THIS VERSION'S WIRE PROTOCOL IS NOT BACKWARDS-COMPATIBLE.  You
	must switch on both server and client at the same time or
	backups will not work.

mcsh-linux (version 2.0.21):

	This appears to be a change without a version number bump.  I'm
	not sure how that happened - perhaps I installed the wrong
	thing in the FTP area last time around?

	The change works around a bug in the bsd.prog.mk that comes
	with at least one Linux distro's version of BSD make - see the
	diff for full details.

moussh (now at 20100430):

	Update the INSTALL document to use rodents-montreal.org instead
	of rodents.montreal.qc.ca.

	Initial version of Linux support.

	Make README match reality more closely.

	Bugfix for rekeying encryption algorithms.

	Handle window updates even on channels which have received EOF,
	since data flow in the other direction can still happen.

	Increase flexibility in the config-file support for variables
	with magic set/get semantics.

	Leave -V always off by default in the Makefile.

	Fix spelling mistake in a Makefile variable.

	Make the malloc wrapper code tolerate calloc() implementations
	which actually call on malloc().
