   * Support for localised manual pages has been added (--locale option).
  
  Version 1.29		September 7, 2002
  
   * Change info category to "GNU programming support".
  
  Version 1.28		June 4, 2002
  
   * Add --info-page option.
  
  Version 1.27		March 19, 2002
  
   * Allow short and long options to be separated by multiple spaces
     rather than a comma.
  
  Version 1.26		March 9, 2002
  
   * Documentation updates giving suggested --help output.
  
  Version 1.25		December 3, 2001
  
   * New --source and --manual options to allow the page headers and
     footers to be specified.
  
   * New --help-option and --version-option options to cater for programs
     which don't support the standard --help and --version.
  
  Version 1.24		December 22, 2000
  
   * Allow options to be specified in the initial block of include files.
  
  Version 1.23		October 31, 2000
  
   * Escape leading apostrophes.
  
  Version 1.022		July 7, 2000
  
   * help2man is now officially a GNU program.  Add bug reporting
     address and `GNU' prefix.
  
   * configure now checks for `perl5' as well as `perl'.
  
  Version 1.021		April 16, 2000
  
   * Create directories if required (Makefile).
  
  Version 1.020		December 30, 1999
  
   * Remove directory from command name(s) in synopsis.
  
  Version 1.019		November 3, 1999
  
   * Sadly, 2+ spaces *are* required to unambiguously separate options
     from descriptions.
  
  Version 1.018		November 1, 1999
  
   * Recognise additional synopsis lines without requiring `or:' prefix.
   * Adjust option tagged paragraph matching so that the first option
     argument does not require an `='.
  
  Version 1.017		October 27, 1999
  
   * Allow --include to be used multiple times.
   * Include files may now contain `/pattern/' which will append the text
     following to any paragraph which matches the pattern.
  
  Version 1.016		October 25, 1999
  
   * Handle indenting/continuation of things which look like options
     separately.  This removes the requirement for 2+ spaces between
     option and description, allows the description to occur on the line
     below the option and relaxes the indent matching rules for continued
     lines.
