o The bt_logic module was added. It parses each call to the compiler
and linker, sorts arguments, adapts them to the current platform and
runs the resulting converted command. It also provides generation of
dependancy files and installation of stuff.
o Initial support of shared libraries through bt_logic's framework.
Buildtool can now build them on different platforms and use different
naming schemes (needed for Darwin), set rpaths automatically, and
more. Note that this is still very experimental.
o New tunable features related with libraries are available for Build-
tool-ized packages. They are called SHARED and STATIC, and tune
which kind of libraries you want to build.
o Standalone bt_mkdep and bt_install modules were removed. All their
functionality is now superseded by bt_logic.
o The x11.subr module was added to bt_config. It provides checks for
automatic detection of the X Window System.
o The pkgconfig.subr module was added to bt_config. It provides a
frontend to the pkg-config(1) program. The bt_check_pkgflags() func-
tion has been deprecated in favour of this module.
o Added functions to automate the detection of a C/C++ compilation en-
vironment in bt_config. They are called bt_check_env_c() and
bt_check_env_cxx().

o Distribution documents converted to mdoc.
o Improved the bt_generate_output() function in bt_config; it now gen-
erates an external script, called bt_output, that can be used to
recreate files at any time.
o Implemented Buildtool version checking (BT_REQUIRE can be used now).
We cannot wait until 1.0 to have this feature.
o Miscellaneous bug fixes (in bt_config and bt_lint).
o Automatically generated configuration files have been prefixed with
`bt_' to avoid conflicts with user files. For example, config.h is
now named bt_config.h by default.
o Support for shared libraries has now been disabled by default. It is
still too incomplete.

Changes in 0.8, state: alpha
----------------------------
* Full rewrite of Buildtool's own build system, which should
improve maintenance and portability.
* New module bt_install, which provides a portable install program
to not depend on specific system details to do installation.
* New pthread.subr module for bt_config, which provides functions
for automatic detection of a pthreads implementation in the
current system.
* Added checks in bt_config: bt_check_func, to check for generic
functions (not specific to any library), and bt_check_type, to
check for the presence of a generic type.
* Fixes in bt_config's loadable module support. It was severely
broken in the previous version.

Changes in 0.7, state: alpha
----------------------------
* New check bt_check_bits, which determines appropiate C types for
different sizes.
* New check bt_check_hdr_std, which searches standard headers.
You *must* use this function, as it is now required for further
checks (improves portability).
* Addition of the `siteinfo' target to the main program. It allows
to get specific information about where Buildtool is installed
by third party programs.
* Default name of Makefile's changed to Makefile.bt. This allows
Automake and Buildtool to coexist in the same package and also
avoids running a regular Make tool within a Buildtool-ized
package (which will confuse the user).
* Build fixes under MacOS X (Darwin).
* Minor bug fixes to run cleanly under Win32, using Cygwin.
* Runtime fixes under GNU-based systems (the `getopt' command did
not behave properly).
While I'm here, fix some things: force the package to use TeXinfo 4.0 and
make it use PKG_SYSCONFDIR.

Buildtool is a set of helper tools designed to make easy to
configure source packages and build them, also making them more
portable.
Buildtool can be tought as the BSD replacement of GNU automake,
autoconf and libtool.
