 133           API
 134         - rlconf.h is now one of the installed headers, so applications can
 135           find out whether things like vi-mode are available in the installed

 154 shlib/Makefile.in
 155         - made the suffix rule that creates xx.so from xx.c write the
 156           compiler output to `a.o', which is then mv'd to xx.so, because
 157           some compilers (Sun WSpro 4.2, for example) don't allow any
 158           suffixes other than `.o' for `cc -c' (not even `a.out')

 194 configure.in
 195         - call AC_SUBST for SHOBJ_XLDFLAGS and SHLIB_LIBS

 198         - SHOBJ_XLDFLAGS and SHLIB_LIBS are now substituted by configure
 199         - add $(SHLIB_LIBS) at end of command line that builds the shared

 300         - install and uninstall depend on install-headers and uninstall-headers
 301           respectively

 303           install-headers and uninstall-headers, respectively, so users may
 304           choose to install only the shared libraries.  I'm not sure about
 305           the uninstall one yet -- maybe it should check whether or not
 306           the static libraries are installed and not remove the header files
 307           if they are
