multi-tabed terminal based on rxvt

	(Thanks to Terry Griffin for pointing it out to me)
    fix configure.ac, enable SM.h check only if session management
	is supported. Otherwise, we may get linking error if libSM
	is not presented while SM.h is there (is it possible?).
    fix configure.ac, enable libICE check for session management and
	libiconv on cygwin, simplify check of libxpg4 and libutil.
    fix freetype font size, set scale number to be 1.0 so that the
	size/pixel_size = 1.0.
    fix freetype multichar font size, optimize for simsun font.
    fix debian files according to Qingning Huo's diff file.
    fix compile error in pixmap.c when tinting support is disabled
    fix Makefile.am, comment out setuid install hook such that mrxvt
	will not be installed as setuid by default in the future for
	security concern.
    fix SlackBuild stript, we will use .tar.gz as source tarball name
	instead of .tgz. It seems all the world use it.
    update FAQ, CREDITS, README and NEWS.


0.3.8 to 0.3.9
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <[e-mail]>
    add a VB script (doc/mrxvt.vbs) to launch mrxvt directly from a
	Windows shortcut without a command prompt window for Cygwin
	users. This script is contributed by Matthew Melendy
    add option to hide/show tabbar buttons. apparently some people
	hate the buttons, as some others hate the tabbar ;-)
    add hotkey and escape sequence to hide/show tabbar buttons
    add further explanation of --enable-everything option in README
    add option of user supplied X resource file
    add option to avoid loading mfont when using freetype font, this
	can avoid large line space
    add escape sequence to change tab colors in runtime
    add support of X session management, still experimental
    add a short tutorial in doc/ directory on how to hack mrxvt and
	add new features
    add inactive tab highlighting when an inactive tab displays some
	new stuff. Remember that is not 100% persistent: it will be
	cleared if an tab expose event happens, e.g., creating a new
	tab or removing an old tab. But I guess it is enough by now.
	If people really concern about it, we can add a flag to each
	tab and use that flag to control the highlighting. But that
	might be overkill.
    fix printing of hold exit string on the screen after a child has
	died but is held
    fix borderless option, now support GNOME/KDE style hints
    fix bug in loading short command line option while long resource
	option is set to NULL, like -d
    fix freetype font size, turn back to point size instead of pixel
	size
    fix freetype multichar font loading. If the multichar font is the
	same as the normal font, e.g., when encoding method is NOENC,
	we use the normal font as multichar font. This eliminate the
	problem that the two fonts have different sizes. But this
	problem remains when the two fonts are different. This is
	because XFT function does not honor the font size we provide.
	Is there any way to fix this?
    fix internal border, which should be the internal border of the
	VT windows, not the mrxvt terminal window!
    fix computing of first visible tab and last visible tab. Now use
	a function to do it so that we can call this function outside
	of tabbar.c, especially when we hide/show tabbar buttons
    fix tab title width. Extend it to 507 maximal, but only display
	27 characters maximal in tab. Therefore, if we synchronize
	the terminal title with tab title, we can display the long
	tab title as terminal title without truncation.
    fix debian files (thanks to qingning huo)
    fix xft font opening routine, print warning message when actually
	opened font differs from the font wish to open
    fix pty/tty type check on BSD system - they require openpty that
	is in libutil. Why it seems unnecessary to fix it on FreeBSD
	5.2.1?
    fix error logic on updating previous active tab when we create
	tabs in sequence and remove them from the right to the left
    fix tabbar updating error if the last tab is removed
    fix include and library path on BSD systems
    fix compile error on macro PARENT_NUMBER if transparent is disabled
    fix compile error if scrollbar is not used
    fix int-border and ext-border option comments
    fix copyright information about rxvt-2.7.10-rk.patch
    fix missing lastlog file path on Solaris
    fix missing lastlog.h check
    fix tainted/untainted macros, use Cqual's notation so that we
	may use Cqual to check the source code in the future. It
	seems gcc compiler is happy with them. But I am not sure if
	other compilers feel happy too. :-)
    fix missing fontconfig macros on Mac OS X
    fix crashes on Mac OS X when calling times with NULL parameter
    fix iconv library check on Mac OS X
    fix xft tab title mixed chinese and english
    fix default gbk bitmap font
    fix terminal window and icon title if user supplies them
    fix assert macro (NDEBUG) on non-debug mode. Now if NDEBUG is
	defined, we will not have any assertions nor debug messages.
	If DEBUG is defined, assertions will always be built in the
	program, and we can use DEBUG_VERBOSE to control the debug
	message. By default, DEBUG_VERBOSE is not defined. So now it
	is clean to build mrxvt with debug support.
    fix SlackBuild script
    fix man page, add X resource name for each command line option
	if applicable
    delete unused rxvtRef-frame.html and rxvtRef-toc.html
    update LSM.in, FAQ, CREDITS, README and NEWS


0.3.7 to 0.3.8
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <[e-mail]>
    add option windowsSwitch to control behavior of Ctrl_Tab. If it is
	set, Ctrl_Tab switches to next tab like Windows. Otherwise, it
	activates the previous active tab.
    add xftfnmono flag if non-CJK font is mono-space
    add holdExit option and holdExitText resource on terminal exit
    add support of broadcasting input to all terminals
    add hot keys to toggle holding exit and broadcasting
    add desktop option for gnome compatible window manager
    add text shadow mode
    add option of transluscent window (true transparent). It requires
	translucent support of the X server, like Xorg 6.8. It will
	override the pseudo-transparency. Note: without hardware
	support to the X server, translucent window can cause
	significant performance penalty. You have been warned!!!
    add debian control files to build .deb package. Thanks to Xiong
	Jiang for help me figure it out.
    add checksum field to each terminal for checking rxvt_cmd_getc
    fix debug option, disable it by default since we are preparing a
	stable branch
    fix global command input and output buffer, move them to individual
	terminals. This may break something, so let us test it for a
	relatively long time.
    fix children exiting and clean code, so we can handle the case
	that multiple children terminals exit simultaneously. But a
	race condition still exists and this code is not robust
	enough. Is there any way to handle this?
    fix sigchld handling, enable reentrance of this signal handler
    fix configure check of iconv.h and libiconv for freetype font 
	support
    fix compile error when background image is disabled while xpm is
	enabled
    fix scrollbar style so that user can use command line option to
	specify it
    fix rxvt_set_window_color to restore and switch colors when input
	color is actually an index to our color list.
    fix shade value if it is changed by escape sequence
    fix xftmono flag if the width of freetype CJK font is not even
    fix xft font height when mfont and font have different height
    fix xft string drawing length after convert it to UTF-8
    fix compile error when there is no xft support
    fix an assertion failure on possible integer overflow
    fix tinting shade performance: if shade is 0, do not shade image
	at all
    fix global rvideo, rstyle, chstat, lost_multi and multi_byte, move
	them to individual terminals
    fix the bug that the background color of current VT is tranferred
	to the new VT window
    fix scrollbar mapping after scrollbar window is created
    fix free clip rectangle of tabbar string
    fix crash when trying to free session resource strings
    fix xterm style reverse video
    fix compile errors on openbsd


0.3.6 to 0.3.7
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <[e-mail]>
    add experimental support to display Chinese/Japanese when use
	freetype font.
    add experimental support to display non-monospace freetype font.
	Basically, if the font is non-monospace (or normal freetype
	font width is not 1/2 of Chinese/Japanese freetype font),
	we will output the string one character by one character,
	not the entire string. This is a bit slow, but much safe.
    add option of multichar freetype font
    add option of cursor blinking interval time
    add option of borderless window (from gentoo)
    add option of override redirect (from gentoo)
    add option of bell command (from gentoo)
    add option to show tabbar at the bottom of terminal window
    add configure script and related files. We are preparing for a
	stable release soon
    add support of text shadow for tab title
    add hotkey to hide/show menubar/scrollbar
    add ctrl_tab as hotkey to activate next page (like Windows)
    add escape sequence to hide/show menubar/scrollbar
    change text shadow command line option
    fix desktop option/resource for WindowMaker
    fix color residual problem when switch to a new tab
    fix buffer overflow in rxvt_tt_printf (from gentoo)
    fix sprintf in xdefaults.c
    fix EUCJ/SJIS encoding (http://gentoo.nedlinux.nl/distfiles/
	rxvt-2.7.10-rk.patch)
    fix Next/SGI style scrollbar width (too fat before)
    fix selection on 64bit systems (from suse)
    fix utmpx check for Interix (from netbsd)
    fix bsd os check (from netbsd)
    fix window properties, use X11R4 (and later) functions
    fix window resizing code
    fix compile dependency on Xt header
    fix reverse video on individual terminal foreground/background
    fix tabbar button vertical position
    fix cursor blinking
    fix pointer blank
    fix possible integer overflow when calling rxvt_malloc
    fix focus/off-focus color code
    fix fade/shade values, previously they are reversed
    fix SlackBuild script
    update README and FAQ


0.3.5 to 0.3.6
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <[e-mail]>
    add xft antialias, hinting, autohint, globaladvance, weight,
	width, size, slant and rgba options
    add option syncTabTitle to synchronize terminal title with tab
	title
    add support to set foreground and background for individual
	terminal. It does not work well with off-focus fading now
    add option hideTabbar to hide tabbar on initialization
    add hotkey and escape sequence to hide/show tabbar
    add option to fade transparent background or background image
	since many people have requested this feature :-)
    add support to run user's default shell in the /etc/passwd file
	if the SHELL environment variable is not defined
    fix mouse report mode (hopefully) by moving PrivateModes and
	SavedModes from global to individual terminal
    fix default PrivateModes by removing PrivMode_aplKP. It seems
	that vim clears this flag anyway. However, if anything goes
	wrong, we will restore it
    fix configure.ac, use xft-config instead of pkg-config to find
	xft since some systems do not have pkg-config
    fix configure.ac for xft-config's complaint about rejection by
	preprocessor.
    fix xft font resource name
    fix xft font display residual and wipe problems
    fix tab title when use xft
    fix text shadow when use xft
    fix resizing when use xft. But apprently there is something wrong
	if we want to destroy the old font pattern. So now we do not
	destroy it, which wastes some system resources.
    fix active tab title color
    fix compile error if background image is disabled
    fix document install directory. Hope it is correct now!

    fix big5 encoding and default fonts
    fix korea encoding
    fix configure.ac to compile mrxvt using -fPIC option by default
	so that mrxvt can enjoy the benefit of PIE (position
	independent execution). In plaintext, it means mrxvt can be
