  +----------------------
  +Features:
  +1) Apply Daniel Rall's SO_REUSEADDR patch. This adds a new configuration
  +   option SocketPortReuse that can either force SO_REUSEADDR on or off
  +   for TCP server sockets, or set it to an auto mode that uses REUSEADDR
  +   if specific interfaces are specified in the spread.conf file and
  +   does not use it if the default of INADDR_ANY is used. If you force
  +   this on, be aware that it can open up a security risk where other
  +   processes can steal Spread's traffic.
  +2) Enhance the group membership algorithm so very large groups and very large
  +   numbers of groups will be merged correctly during a membership. 
  +   With this change Spread should correctly handle groups with thousands
  +   of members and thousands of groups. This also includes a slight 
  +   optimzation by sending groups messages as AGREED instead of SAFE.
  +   Thanks to Ryan Caudy from JHU for doing this work.
  +3) Revamped build setup using autoconf instead of manual Makefiles. Thanks
  +   to Theo Schlossnagle for writing this and updating it. Some small changes
  +   were made to Theo's 3.16.2 patch when I applied it.
  +4) Change library name from libsp to libspread. This is both more descriptive
  +   and should fix the problem with library clashes with other libsp's.
  +5) Apply Daniel Rall's patch to make the spread execution directory and
  +   the user and group it runs as configurable at runtime.
  +
  +Bugfixes: 
  +6) Make sure service_type is set to 0 before using it in SP_receive calls 
  +   in sample programs (spuser, spflooder, simple_user).
  +7) Fix GGT bug where Spread gets stuck or crashes if you reach GGT state.
  +8) Fix Mem_Alloc blocks so they can be freed without assertion failure.
  +9) Fix hanging bug where token rotates, but ARU is stuck.
  +
  +Documentation:
  +10) Split the growing changelog at the beginning of Readme.txt into a 
  +    separate file.
  +11) Updates to man pages. Clarify service_type handling. Add info on accessor
  +    functions for membership message body.
