+--- fixes since Vim 6.0b ---
+
+Getting the GCC version in configure didn't work with Solaris sed. First
+strip any "darwin." and then get the version number.
+
+The "autoload" directory was missing from the self-installing executable for
+MS-Windows.
+
+The MS-Windows install program would find "vimtutor.bat" in the install
+directory. After changing to "c:" also change to "\" to avoid looking in the
+install directory.
+
+To make the 16 bit DOS version compile exclude not used highlight
+initializations and build a tiny instead of small version.
