foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
Include a bugfix for lisp_LISP independently discovered by me that has
been pulled up to the automake-1-4 branch of automake cvs.

New in 1.4-p5:
* Allow AM_PROG_LIBTOOL again.

* Allow numbers in macro names.
* Bugfixes.
New in 1.4-p4:
* Deal with configure.ac as well as configure.in -- this time for real!
* The version numbering system now allows three point version numbers,
such as 1.4.4, without thinking they are alpha release numbers.
New in 1.4-p3:
* Deal with configure.ac as well as configure.in.
* Don't complain if `version.texi' is included in multiple places.
New in 1.4-p2:

require ltconfig, ltcf-c.sh, ltcf-cxx.sh or ltcf-gcj.sh.
* Bugfixes.

xlHtml is an Excel 95 and later file converter. Its html output
can be used as a Netscape Plugin to let you view xls e-mail
attachments. It can also extract regions of a spreadsheet and
convert the spreadsheet to pure text rather than html.
