        !             2:
        !             3: MCPP V.2.7.2 (2008/11)
        !             4:
        !             5: 1. This is a bug-fixed version of V.2.7.1, fixing several bugs of the
        !             6:     previous release.
        !             7:
        !             8: 2. Enabled some CPU-specific predefined macros in compiler-independent-
        !             9:     build as well as compiler-specific-build.
        !            10:
        !            11:
        !            12: MCPP V.2.7.1 (2008/05)

        !            16:
        !            17: 2. Made subroutine-build also install an mcpp executable and minimal
        !            18:     documents as well as libmcpp for a convenience of library package.

        !            20:
        !            21: MCPP V.2.7 (2008/03)
        !            22:
        !            23: 1. Implemented -K option to enable macro notification mode.  This mode
        !            24:     is designed for C/C++ refactoring tools and embeds macro annotations
        !            25:     into comments.  This mode is also enabled by '#pragma MCPP debug
        !            26:     macro_call' sub-directive.
        !            27:
        !            28: 2. Fixed several bugs of the previous release, including a bug of UTF-8

        !            39:
        !            40: 1. This is a bug-fixed version of V.2.6.3, fixing memory leaks in

        !            49:
        !            50: 1. Revised subtle points of #include and '#pragma once' handling, such
        !            51:     as dereferencing symbolic linked directory and others.
        !            52:
        !            53: 2. Relaxed syntax checking and token checking in lang_asm mode.
        !            54:     Implemented variadic macro of GCC3-specification for GCC-specific-
        !            55:     build.  Increased compatibility of GCC-specific-build to GCC.

        !            60: 4. Added 'mcpplib' target to make subroutine-build in configure.ac and
        !            61:     noconfig/*.mak.
        !            62:
        !            63: 5. Abolished 'install-data' and 'uninstall-data' targets of configured
        !            64:     makefile.  On the other hand, made 'install' target install also

        !            66:
        !            67: 6. Provided stand-alone-and-compiler-independent-build binary packages
        !            68:     port, rpm, deb, zip and their corresponding source packages on

        !            80:
        !            81: 3. Changed the terms of building methods in the documents.  The building
        !            82:     methods now have two axis:
        !            83:         1. stand-alone-build vs subroutine-build
        !            84:         2. compiler-independent-build vs compiler-specific-build
        !            85:     Refer to INSTALL #1.
        !            86:     Note that this change of terminology does not affect the two
        !            87:     building methods of stand-alone preprocessor so far: 'compiler-
        !            88:     independent-build' and 'compiler-specific-build'. ('compiler-
        !            89:     independent-build' was called 'stand-alone-build' in the previous
        !            90:     releases).
        !            91:
        !            92: 4. Rewrote and converted the text files in 'doc' and 'doc-jp'
        !            93:     directories into html files.
        !            94:
        !            95:
        !            96: MCPP V.2.6.1 (2006/08)
        !            97:
        !            98: 1. Fixed several bugs of the previous release.
        !            99:

        !           105: MCPP V.2.6 (2006/07)
        !           106:
        !           107: 1. Integrated STANDARD mode and PRE_STANDARD mode into one executable,
        !           108:     differentiating the modes by the execution time options.
        !           109:
        !           110: 2. Changed --enable-maintainer-mode option of configure to --enable-
        !           111:     replace-cpp option which generates compiler-specific-build of mcpp.
        !           112:
        !           113: 3. Made compiler-independent-build really independent from any compiler-
        !           114:     systems.  It no longer requires GCC-specific header files.
        !           115:
        !           116: 4. Removed settings for pre-C90 compiler.
