Jan 11, 2006	- 0.81 -> 0.99.2.1
Nov 2, 2005	- 0.80 -> 0.81
Sep 30, 2005	- Updated Slackware note for 10.2
		- Updated cracklib prerequisite, it's optional in this
		  version, if you don't install it pam_cracklib won't be
		  built
		- Updated note about old cracklib to refer to the uninstall
		  instructions at the bottom of the cracklib howto
Jul 17, 2005	- 0.78 -> 0.80
		- Moved source directory (see note <a href="howtos.php?msd">here</a>)
		- Rearranged options to shut up new version of find
		- Changed md5sum verification to output OK (or not)
		- Added sha1sum verification
Mar 22, 2005	- Removed make, gcc, binutils, fileutils/coreutils links
		- Added link to the new cracklib howto as a prerequisite,
		  removed the instructions that installed the copy on
		  kernel.org
Dec 21, 2004	- 0.77 -> 0.78
		- Changed link to db4 howto to the generic bdb howto (which
		  links to the other ones)
		- Added " or coreutils" to the fileutils prerequisite
		- Added md5sum verification for those that don't have gpg
		- Added prerequisite link to grep, just because configure
		  looks for it
		- Added installation of cracklib
		- Pass --mandir=/usr/man to configure because the prefix
		  is /, otherwise man pages would go into /man/man?/
		- Added removal instructions to the bottom
		- The cracklib tarball is unfortunately set with 700 perms
		  for /usr and the subdirectories that it's files are
		  installed under, so extract it to a temporary directory and
		  then move the files into place.  You can tell tar to ignore
		  the permissions in the tarball, but I would imagine that
		  won't work with all versions under all platforms, so I do
		  it "manually".
Oct 14, 2003	- Fixed a typo, I had a \ at the end of a line, when cut and
		  pasted, that line and the next one would be joined
		- Minor update to gpg verification
		- Create ~/installed with mode 700
		- Linked the word pam_ldap to the openldap howto
		- Added prerequisites
		- Instead of just removing /lib/libpam*, in case some day
		  that ends up matching something else by mistake, I changed
		  it to cd into lib, then remove libpam.*, libpamc.*, and
		  libpam_misc.*
Jul 17, 2003	- Modernized the howto
Oct 28, 2002	- Fixed typo that removes old shared lib files (.so)
Oct 17, 2002	- 0.76 -> 0.77

		- Added home page link
