module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

- bugfix in _store, which caused warning when saving
a config containing empty hashes. Reported by
herbert breunung <deirdre_skye@web.de>.
- removed applied patch (added in 2.20), there are no more
calls to binmode(), this destroys portability, because
perls determines itself wether it uses \n or \r\n as newline.
Reported by herbert breunung too.
- applied patch by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>,
scalars containing a backslash as the last character will
be written out as here-doc when storing a config to disk.
- fixed invalid regexp in _open()
- fixed bug with not working -IncludeRelative setting when
including a config file.
- add the -BackslashEscape parameter to enable general escaping
of special characters
- added feature
now block statements like this are allowed: "<directory blah/>"
- fix a bug with the -Tie option, sub-hashes of named blocks were
not properly created (in fact, not tied).
- fixed bug in new() used $this instead of $self for empty
hashref creation if no config file given.
for a possessive (like her, his, whose, their, and its).
Note that I didn't check for proper use of "its" (when it should
be "it is" or "it has" instead).
I also saw over 15 other grammar or punctuation problems, but not
fixed in this commit.
- forgot to import 'catfile' from File::Spec. Bug reported by
various people.
- applied patch by Peter Tandler <Peter.Tandler@ipsi.fhg.de>
which adds a search-path feature for include files.
- adds an auto launder capability to the module which makes it
possible to use variables read by Config::General in a
tainted perlscript (executed with -T) for open(), backtick calls
or something which the taintmode considers to be dangerous.
- fixed Bug #2325 (rt.cpan.org). The subs exported by File::Spec
will now imported explicitly.
- fixed warning about double my'ed variable $dummi, changed it
to undef because it was unused anyway.
- added File::Spec support which makes the modules more portable
- fixes a bug in the Interpolate.pm submodule. A second variable,
when immediately following the first, did not get interpolated,
i.e. ${var1}${var2}.

Config::General opens a config file and parses it's contents for
you. After parsing the module returns a hash structure which contains
the representation of the config file.
The format of config files supported by Config::General is inspired
by the well known apache config format, in fact, this module is
100% read-compatible to apache configs, but you can also just use
simple name/value pairs in your config files.
