+The optional patches to flex-2.5.31 and bison-2.0a in this directory fix a
+number of problems with warning and/or error messages generated by strict
+compilers.
+
+A modified version of dvipdf that accepts common dvips options is included.
+
+The file gcc3.3.2curses.patch can be used to patch the broken curses.h header
+files (or a local copy thereof in the current directory) on some AIX and
+IRIX systems.
+
+The file gc6.8_AIX.patch fixes an incorrect Boehm garbage collector
+prototype in the file gc6.8/include/gc.h (version 6.8).
+
+The file gc-7.0nomem.patch avoids segmentation faults with gc-7.0 on
+out-of-memory errors.
+
+A patch to provide full functionality in the Asymptote backend to pstoedit
+(http://pstoedit.net) is provided in the file pstoedit-3.45asy.patch.
+
+The file TkAlpha-Imaging-1.1.6.patch is a revised patch that fixes
+transparency support in PIL for xasy (this supercedes an obsolete patch
+of the same name included in Asymptote 1.36, which resulted in very slow
+rendering). Application of this patch is strongly recommended.
+
+The file movie15_dvipdfmx.patch brings the xelatex/dvipdfmx-enhanced
+version of movie15.sty available at
+http://cvs.ktug.or.kr/viewcvs/dvipdfmx/contrib/latex/movie15.sty.sample?revision=1.1
+up-to-date with the latest official 2008/10/08 version. For convenience the
+patched version is also included as movie15_dvipdfmx.sty; it should be
+renamed to movie15.sty and installed in the local latex directory.
+
+The file movie15_20090323.patch works around a problem with 3Dgetview that
+shows up under Windows XP in the 2009/03/23 version of movie15.sty.
