+ Now prints missing line table column number as 0 (now
+ matching the DWARF spec), the previous
+ practice of printing -1 was always wrong.
+ And prints the DWARF3/4 new line table fields (when present).
+October 29, 2011
+ Added support for printing .debug_types (type unit) data.
+October 26, 2011
+ Added new features to Makefile.in and documented in README
+ how to build dwarfdump with headers or libraries in
+ non-standard places.
+October 23, 2011
+ By default the various places with string option values
+ and file paths all use URI transformation on input and
+ if the transformation does anything at all dwarfdump reports
+ the input and transformed strings. This makes it easy
+ to deal with strings and expressions and file paths
+ that are difficult to express in a shell (or that getopt
+ mangles). Options -q and -U give you control over this process.

+ The -x abi=mips frame register abi in dwarfdump.conf is now
+ usable with modern MIPS objects as well as old IRIX objects.
+ There are other mips-* frame register setups described
+ in dwarfdump.conf for anyone testing that nothing new has
+ been added that conflicts with old IRIX/MIPS frame generation.
+October 04, 2011
+ Revised in major ways to do the additional checks and produce the same
+ output as dwarfdump. But making use of C++ features.
+March 29, 2011
+ All indentations changed to a consistent 4 characters per level.
+ This was a massive but simple change.
+January 26, 2010
+ Changed the default frame-data register names from MIPS to
+ a generic set of registers.
+ Try '-x abi=mips' to get the traditional old MIPS register
+ naming.
+June 22, 2009
+ Added the -S option to dwarfdump.
+June 10, 2009
+ Moved the gennames.c code to libdwarf.
+May 4, 2009
+ Replaced awk source-generation of certain functions
+ with new gennames.c code.
+April 04, 2009
+ Now frame printing (-f and -F) uses a different interface
+ to libdwarf which is far more efficient for the particular
+ purpose of printing all the register rules. Reduces
+ MxN print time to M (one extreme case reduces from 2 hours
+ to 2 minutes).
+Feb 28, 2009
+ Created this new source base in C++ (from dwarfdump, which
+ is C).
