Skycat is a tool that combines visualization of images and access to
catalogs and archive data for astronomy. For more information about
Skycat, see: http://archive.eso.org/skycat/.

This version has been ported to itcl2.2 (tk4.2, tcl7.6), supports
shared libraries and loadable modules, but otherwise does not contain
any major changes or new features.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please send them to the
Skycat mailing list at:

skycat@eso.org

or directly to me (abrighto@eso.org).

Here are some of the changes in this release:

* Rtd, Skycat, Catlib: added support for shared libraries, itcl2.2,
tk4.2, tcl7.6. blt-2.1, loadable modules, packages.
Use: "configure --enable-shared ..." (see INSTALL file).

* The Rtd configure script now gets information from the Tcl/Tk config
files (tclConfig.sh, tkConfig.sh, etc...) and generates its own
rtdConfig.sh file, which is used by the catlib and skycat configure
scripts. This makes running configure faster and hopefully more
portable.

* added a make target "release_bin" that generates a binary/interpreted
release of skycat. This can be used in place of the single binary
"unexec" version on systems where that doesn't work.

* various bug fixes in rtd and catlib (see rtd/CHANGES and cat/CHANGES)
