+ New in alpha3.2:  Assorted bits of cleanup and portability improvement
+ (the development base is now a BSDI system using GCC instead of an ancient
+ Sun system, and the newer compiler exposed some glitches).  Fix for a
+ serious bug that affected REs using many [] (including REG_ICASE REs
+ because of the way they are implemented), *sometimes*, depending on
+ memory-allocation patterns.  The header-file prototypes no longer name
+ the parameters, avoiding possible name conflicts.  The possibility that
+ some clot has defined CHAR_MIN as (say) `-128' instead of `(-128)' is
+ now handled gracefully.  "uchar" is no longer used as an internal type
+ name (too many people have the same idea).  Still the same old lousy
+ performance, alas.
  New in alpha3.1:  Basically nothing, this release is just a bookkeeping
  convenience.  Stay tuned.
