HOWTO-RELEASE: 
Notes on releasing.  <mike@bangstate.com> 

1. Commit any unsaved changes. 

2. "make clean"

3. Create html/vX.X.html.  Take ChangeLog entries and html-ify in there. 
   Easist thing to do is take html/vX.(X-1).html and use it as a template. 

4. Add any new files that have been created that should be part 
   of the distrubituion (like the html file in step 2), to 
   TIFFFILES in Makefile.in

5. Make sure tif_dir.c in lzw-compression-kit is in sync with the 
   main tree. 

6. Increment version in file "VERSION" 

8. sh configure; make; make install (to test).
