67 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
68 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
69 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
70 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
71 Mikachu).
72 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
73 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
74 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
75 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
76 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).

82 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
83 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
84 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
85 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
86 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
87 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).

94 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
95 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
96 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
97 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
98 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
99 in need of fixing. go figure.
100 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
