Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2
+ *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
+ other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
+ Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
+ <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
+ to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
+ pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
+ <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
+ perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
+ assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
+ now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]

*) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
[Ben Laurie]
