a vanilla 2-clause BSD license, but somehow some confusing
extra verbage get copied from somewhere.
Also, update the copyright dates to 2007 for all of the files.
Prompted by: several questions about what those extra words really mean
systems (or on FreeBSD systems when using ports).
2) Overhaul the versioning logic. In particular,
SHLIB_MAJOR number is now computed as "major+minor",
which ensures library versions are the same for
the FreeBSD build system and the portable
libtool/autoconf/automake build system.
is present for FreeBSD. If you "make distfile" on FreeBSD, you will
soon have a tar.gz file suitable for deploying to other systems
(complete with the expected "configure" script, etc). This latter
relies (at least for now) on the GNU auto??? tools. (I like autoconf
okay, but someday I hope to write a custom Makefile.in and dispense
with automake, which is somewhat odious.)
As part of this, I've cleaned up some of the conditional
compilation options, added make-foo to construct archive.h dynamically
(it now contains some version constants), and added some useful
informational files.
