New Entry:  Mon May  6 00:26:51 PDT 2002
New Entry:  a/elflibs-8.0.8-i386-2.tgz:  Added libpng.so.3.
New Entry:  a/pkgtools-8.0.99-i386-1.tgz:  Modified installpkg to deal with packages
New Entry:    created with newer versions of tar that store files as './foo' and './bar'
New Entry:    rather than 'foo' and 'bar', so that removepkg/upgradepkg can match files
New Entry:    properly.  Of course, such problems are completely avoidable by using makepkg
New Entry:    rather than tar or a tool that produces out-of-spec packages, but I realize
New Entry:    people will do this anyway so I'll fix it before it's a problem. :-)
