504:59:03 <kentnl> schmorp: you may want to change the description on Convert-UUlib, because your bundled copy 5 - trust filename from yenc header and do not extract it from the header.
6 is now better maintained and has fewer security risks than upstreams :p 6 - remove debug message file cvs id's, which didn't work anymore, replace UUMessage
704:59:49 <kentnl> to the point I've been humoring the idea of cribbing its code and shipping it as a 7 by a macro and remove file and line numbers from callers.
8 replacement for other things currently using the original uulib 8 - remove some pre-c99 support.
906:51:00 <schmorp> kentnl: well, hmm, but change it to what, it still is an interface to "a" uulib library at 9 - compile whole uulib als single .c file.
10 least 10 - call abort in some code that should not be reached.
1106:52:26 <kentnl> Maybe "Convert to/from uuencoded data in C" or something like that.

34 than the original upstream library.
