 Basic Installation
 ==================

    The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
 various system-dependent variables used during compilation.  It uses
 those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.

+Automated RPM packaging, and included debian packaging. The makefiles
+now has an rpm target (the RPMFLAGS variable can be set to add
+additional flags to RPM). Debian packages are built the ordinary way
+(dpkg-buildpackage).
+
+Moved the example*.* files to tutorial*.*, since the docs really are
+tutorials. Beefed up the tutorial docs to add clarity to the behavior
+of fixture setup/teardown (based on a helpful critique by Fred Drake),
+and to document the static nature of unit tests demanded by the bug
+fix below.
+
+Many bugfixes: added -Wall to the CCFLAGS for gcc, and fixed a mess of
+warnings that resulted. Changed a bizarre naming mismatch in
+tcase_set_fixture (masked by the lack of compile warnings), and made
+unit tests static (both bugfixes suggested by Fred Drake). Also added
+a more sophisticated test of Lyx to (hopefully) ensure that Lyx
+supports linuxdoc (but it's not clear to me how to test that for
+sure).
