======== Requirements

  GTK+-1.2.0: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk
  Imlib 1.9: ftp://ftp.labs.redhat.com/pub/imlib

======== Notes and changes for this release

  Changes:
    > Now use autoconf/make, resulting in a configure script.
    > Now supports i18n, added translations: de ja pt_BR ru
    > Remove 'save settings on exit', they are now always saved.
    > Copy/move dialogs now include drop down history.
    - Icons now update when size is configured.
    - When dragging files, and the action was a move, refresh the filelist.
    * Icons sizes are now properly remembered when the config dialog is opened
      then closed without re-selecting the size.

  Notes:
   known bug: When starting up with tools floating, then unfloat the tools and
              attempt to do drag and drop, BOOM! endless loop of errors on
              GTK+-1.2.3 (hint: could use a little help figuring this out)

======== Installation

  Compilation: ./configure ; make
  General install: make install
  GNOME install: make gnome-install is deprecated!, configure finds gnome for
                 you now. 
  Removal: make uninstall
