Version 4.2.5 about ready to go out

[Ethan A M. <merritt@u.washington.edu>]

Barring last minute bug reports, I plan to push out version 4.2.5
in a few days.   It contains a dozen or so bug-fixes and a few
features back-ported from CVS.  The biggest change is support for
linking against BSD libedit, providing a third alternative to the
built-in readline code and to gnu libreadline.
This should help installation under OSX.

I have updated the patchlevel and internal version references in CVS,
but have not yet tagged it for release.

If you can think of any reason to delay it, or have recently happened
across a long-standing bug [*], please let me know.


[*] Don't laugh.  I stubbed my toe on one just this evening:
   set view map; set pm3d; splot {0,1};
hung both 4.2 and 4.3.
