Version 1.52  Date: 1998/10/29 11:44:23  Author: abw
------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Modified AppConfig::Getopt to work with Getopt::Long version 2.17,
  instead of the yet-to-be-released-as-of-29-Oct-1998 version 2.93
  (3.00 beta).  Getopt::Long version 3.00 offers object-orientation
  but will continue to be backwardly compatible with earlier versions.
  Thus, AppConfig::Getopt should continue with future versions of
  Getopt::Long.  Nice one, Johan!

* Added code to AppConfig::State::define() to handle the compact format.
  The ALIAS and ARGS options are extracted from it and the ARGCOUNT 
  is determined from the ARGS parameter.

* Added Getopt::Long version 2.17 as a dependency in Makefile.PL.
  Added documentation to note this and explain how to modify the 
  Makefile.PL to avoid this check.

* Added t/compact.t and expanded t/getopt.t test files.

* Added documentation for AppConfig::Getopt use and the compact definition
  format.

* Added documentation for +/- prefix format in configuration files.

* Other minor documentation fixes.

Version 1.51  Date: 1998/10/22 09:22:53  Author: abw
------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Added '+variable' (set on) and '-variable' (reset to 0 or default)
  syntax for configuration files, as suggested by Chip Salzenberg.

* Fixed auto-creation of variables that was generating two warning 
  messages each time.

* Removed some straggling references to the AppConfig::Const module. 

* Changed Makefile.PL to explicitly list MAN3PODS for all AppConfig::*
  modules.  ExtUtils::MakeMaker ignores files that match the pattern 
  /(config|setup).*\.pm/i;  Thanks to Alex Medina for catching that.  


========================================================================
Version 1.50  Date: 1998/10/21 09:28:15  Author: abw
