File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.0.19

Notes:
BUGFIX!  The 1.0.18 version of repeats fails to remove temporary working
files.  This has now been fixed.

Reworked to-lzma to use either Ville Koskinen's lzma utility (part of LZMA
Utils), which uses gzip-style options, or Igor Pavlov's lzma_alone (part of
LZMA SDK), which uses 7zip-style options.

Tweaked numerous manpages.

* repeats/repeats.in:  BUGFIX!! During the 1.0.18 rework of repeats,
temporary file deletion was temporarily disabled, and I forgot to
reenable it before releasing 1.0.18.  This has been fixed.

* scripts/Makefile.in, scripts/to-lzma*.in:  Logic for handling lzma
vs. lzma_alone was incomplete.  Also, Ville Koskinen's lzma utility
(part of LZMA Utils) is suddenly making inroads into the free software
world.  I've spotted lzma-compressed tarballs of coreutils and libpng,
and I expect to see more in the future.  [This is most excellent
news.]  However, Ville Koskinen's lzma utility uses gzip-style options
(such as "lzma -c -d"), while the "lzma" utility from Igor Pavlov's
LZMA SDK uses 7zip-style options (such as "lzma e -d23").  Several
distributions have renamed Igor Pavlov's lzma utility as lzma_alone,
so I now utilize that naming scheme and command-line option scheme for
to-lzma.  Only one of the two utilities will be used for to-lzma, with
lzma_alone being selected preferentially.

* */*.1:  In manpage header blocks, use all-caps for utility name and
add "littleutils" as package name, for consistency with most other
manpages out there.  Also added section numbers to all "SEE ALSO"
information.

* autoconf/configure.in, README:  Bumped package version to 1.0.19.
