KLH10 CHANGES
=============
KLH10 2.0I: up to early 2016, by Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert
- Configure script added to replace complicated ifdefs.
This should be more reliable on previously unknown systems,
such as MacOS X.
- Networking code mostly replaced with libpcap as an interface
to the system packet filter, and Net/Free/OpenBSD/Linux tunnel
devices, and virtual VDE devices.
KLH10 2.0G: 21-May-2002
- Fixed Large File Support for disks.
- New XBLT algorithm to fix obscure bug.
