	  at execution time. usable() changed to return path.
	* htags.pl: optimized about temporary database.
	* htags.pl: most code which depend on javascript are removed
	  because most of browsers don't support the language.
	* mgets.c: now belongs strbuf.c as strbuf_fgets().

	* global.conf: one line script for ctags-exuberant fixed.
	* Cpp.h, java.h: MAXCLASSSTACK changed from 10 to 100.
	* use snprintf(3) instead of sprintf(3).

	  like c-mode.
	  prefix 'gtags-' added to all functions to avoid conflicts with
	  other packages..

	* htags.pl: change the process of removing cache file.
	* global.c, gtagsop.c, dbop.c: processing of regular expression
	  is moved from command level (global.c) to library level

	  optimizing -g option.

August 26, 1999, Shigio Yamaguchi  <shigio@tamacom.com>

	* Cygwin support code added.
	  David Aspinwall ported Global-3.44 into cygwin32 environment.
	  I refered his code but I didn't use it in as is style, because it
	  conflicted against Dan Fandrich's Windows 32 code. I wrote new
	  code for cygwin32 borrowing David's idea.
	  So any bugs in this area are therefore my fault, not David's.
	* htags: stop using cp(1).

August 23, 1999, Shigio Yamaguchi  <shigio@tamacom.com>

	  Dan Fandrich ported Global-3.44 into Windows 32 environment.
	  I have included his code into this version (3.5) and altered them
	  for some (mainly licensing) reasons, so any bugs in this area
	  are therefore my fault, not Dan's.
	* copyright notice of Tama Communications Corporation added.
	* Henry Spencer's regex(3) imported.
	* gtags.el: now detect XEmacs.
