Version 0.3 - 1993-10-??, by Franc,ois Pinard
* GNU ptx installs as a single program, -G option dynamically reverts
to the System V compatible behaviour, yet being liberal with options.
* It should install more easily on more systems, source code is
unprotoized on the fly for older C compilers.
* A default ignore file is installed along with GNU ptx, ptx uses it.
* Options -F, -S and -W interpret most \-escapes themselves.
* Option -M can be use to change "xx" to another macro name.
* CHRCLASS environment variable is obeyed for systems supporting it.
* Long option names have been cleaned up a little.
* Some examples are given in the example/ directory structure.
Version 0.2 - 1991-10-10, by Franc,ois Pinard

* Option -p removed, rather compile two separate programs, one with
GNU extensions, the other being strict on System V compatibility.
