+  Had to add an ugly configure conditional as libelf has
+  unconditional use of off64_t in recent libelf.h
+July 3, 2007
+  Now with -v dwarf expression blocks in frame operations
+  are printed expanded out.
+July 2, 2007
+  Added a new abi -x abi=general usable for any cpu with
+  up to 1000 registers.
+May 7, 2007
+  Sun Microsystems contributes new dwarf.h extensions and a new -G option
+  to dwarfdump -i (so one can see the 'global' offset to DIEs).
+  Thanks to Chris Quenelle of Sun.
+April 17, 2006
+  New -x name=<conf file> -x abi=<abiname> and configuration file
+  enable sensible printing of a wide range of .debug_frame eh_frame
+  correctly without recompiling dwarfdump or touching libdwarf.h or
+  dwarf.h.
+March 29, 2005
+  Now handles DWARF3. For non-MIPS objects, the list of register
+  names in print_sections.c is not appropriate, #define
+  DWARFDUMP_TURN_OFF_MIPS_REG_NAMES to turn off the MIPS names.
+December 1, 2005
+  Added new DWARF3 TAGs and ATtributes to the -k lists,
+  clarified the -k reporting, and made the build more robust
+  in the face of errors in the *.list relationship-spec-files.
+
+August 1, 2005
+  Now print_die.c deals with long loclists without a coredump.
+  Added esb.h esb.c (and testesb.c for testing) to encapsulate 
+  getting space for possibly-long strings.
+  Now print_die.c uses snprintf() not sprintf (hopefully this
+  will not inconvenience anyone, snprintf() has been available
+  on most systems for years now).
+  Altered print of location lists a little bit - for better appearance.
+
+July 15, 2005
+  Now completely frees all allocated memory. Various
+  routines were not calling dealloc() code and
+  new libdwarf dealloc routines are now used where those
+  are needed.
+
+  Now prints DWARF3 .debug_pubtypes section (with -a or -y).
+  The .debug_pubtypes section and  SGI-specific .debug_typenames
+  are equvalent so they are treated alike.
+
+Mar 21, 2005
+  The -f flag now prints only .debug_frame data. The .eh_frame section
+  (GNU exceptions data) now prints with -F (not -a). 
+  Printing gcc 3.3 or 3.4 .eh_frame with zR augmentation
+  does not work at this time, so do not use -F
+  to print such an object.
+  The line section print now prints a CU-DIE offset for each such DIEs
+  line information.   This makes it much easier to correctly associate
+  -l (or -v -l) output with -v -v -l when debugging a faulty
+  linetable in an executable.
+  With -v -v -l (two -v) the output of line info continues to be a 
+  completely different format than zero or one -v, the two-v
+  form showing the detailed line table opcodes.
+  With g++ 3.3.3 one sees bad line addresses at times as the 
+  DW_LNE_set_address address for header files do not always 
+  get their relocations applied.  I am told this is fixed in 3.4.x.
+
+
+Mar 18, 2005
+  In correcting printing of macro information the format
+  of the macro (-m) output has changed substantially.
+  Much more complete now.  Still could use enhancement.
+
+Oct 28, 2004
+  Updated contact address in copyright: SGI moved 1/4 mile
+  to a new address: 1500 Crittenden Lane.
+
+Oct 02, 2003
+  Now fully supports .debug_loc section.
+
+June 14, 2001
+  Now calling a new function dwarf_get_arange_cu_header_offset()
+  in libdwarf and printing the returned cu header offset for 
+  aranges entries.   Making it easier to track down internal 
+  errors in the dwarf2 data.  Also added small other
+  consistency checks, printing a message and exit()ing on 
+  error.
+
+April 14, 2000
+  The libdwarf copyright has changed to
+     version 2.1 of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
+  Anyone holding a version of libdwarf that was published
+              before this new copyright
+  is allowed to use
+    the copyright published in that earlier libdwarf source
+    on the earlier source
+  or to use 
+    this new copyright on the earlier source,
+  at their option.
+
+July 21, 1999
+  Added gnu extensions to the frame information printer
+  and handling for egcs eh_frame printing.
+  libdwarf changes mean this now can print little-endian
+  object dwarf on a big-endian system and vice-versa.
+
+December, 1998
+  added dwarfdump to the dwarf public source distribution.
+
+June, 1994
+  libdwarf consumer interface changed completely so updated to match.
+
+May,  1993
+  Initial version of dwarfdump  for dwarf version 2
+  written at sgi.
