CHANGES of VFlib2

* Version 2.25.0  Sep 6 1999
  o Added "VFlib2-config" program. Useful for compiling 
    application program using VFlib2.
  o Minor improvemnets for portability.
  o Adopts GNU libtool 1.3.3
  o Adopts GNU autoconf 2.13

* Version 2.24.2  Feb 17 1999
  o IMPORTANT: Now configure script requires explicit command line 
     options to use FreeType. (See also 'run-conf' script.)
  o IMPORTANT: Changed shared library versioning scheme.

* Version 2.24  Sep 1 1998
  o Adopts FreeType 1.1. VFlib does not work with FreeType 1.0.
    Users must obtain it from http://www.freetype.org/ and install 
    before installing VFlib.    
  o Distribution and compilation are changed. VFlib library file does 
    not contain object files of FreeType. FreeType library must be 
    linked with application software explicitly.

* Version 2.23  May 26 1998
  o Added a font driver using FreeType library 1.0 for TrueType fonts.
  o Introducerd GNU Libtool and GNU Autoconf; Now we can make shared 
    libraries. Platform dependent issues are automatically detected
    by autoconf and (maybe) you do not have to edit Makefiles.
  o Because of adopting Autoconf, I changed how to compile VFlib.
    First, run 'configure' script and then, run 'make'.
  o I Changed installation directories.
       libraries:    /usr/local/lib/
       binaries:     /usr/local/bin/
       header files: /usr/local/include/
