   - updated the pattern overlay.
	
   Dec 17, 2004, by Damien Douxchamps
   - removal of icons.h, which was somehow still lurking in the src directory
	
   Dec 16, 2004, by Damien Douxchamps
   - pattern overlay is more or less OK now. There are problems with the YUYV block alignement
     when writing pattern on the screen. I will fix this later.
	
   Dec 14, 2004, by Damien Douxchamps
   - fixed problems with the Simple bayer conversion
   - added black borders to Simple and Edge Sense II bayer conversions to blank
     invalid pixels

   Nov 26, 2004, by Damien Douxchamps
   - properly fixed a conversion problem in y2rgb: the first pixel was never
     converted. Now we use >=0 as the loop condition in most functions: faster
     and better... (Frederic Devernay)
	
   Nov 25, 2004, by Damien Douxchamps
   - fixed a conversion problem in y2rgb: the first pixel was never converted

   Nov 11, 2004, by Damien Douxchamps

     installation.
	
   Nov 7, 2004, by Damien Douxchamps
   - update of the 'About' window
   - update the autoconf scripts
   - add a preference for overlay byte order instead of #define's
	
   Oct 28, 2004, by Damien Douxchamps

     Thanks to Will Shackleford for spotting the missing check.

     ftime
	
   Jul 7, 2004, by Damien Douxchamps
