    Log Message:
    Update to 6.3, provided by Leonard Schmidt in PR 32510.
    Add perl to TOOLS, since configure stops if it's not found.
 
    6.3  Wed Jan  4 22:37:10 CET 2006
    - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
      not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
      world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
      too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
      systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
      GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
    - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
      restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
      by Mikachu).
    - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
      intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
      menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
      perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
    - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
      Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
    - fix directory permissions on install.
    - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
      and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
    - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
      (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
      periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
 
    6.2  Mon Jan  2 16:03:01 CET 2006
    - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
      selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
      Chuck Blake.
    - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
      obscure the mouse cursor position.
    - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
      returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
      on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
    - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
      the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
    - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
      transfer efficiency.
    - further minor cleanups.
 
    6.1  Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
    - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
    - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
      while the user still drags.
    - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
      not drawn correctly.
    - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
      to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
    - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
    - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
    - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
      stripping whitespace.
    - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
    - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
 
    6.0  Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
    - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
    - enable slow link support by default.
    - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
      (also a bug in original rxvt).
    - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
      (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
      partial patch).
    - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
    - bump max savelines to 10000000.
    - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
    - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
    - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
    - implement -hold option.
    - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
    - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
    - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
    - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
    - slight overall speed improvements.
    - considerably improved code clarity.
    - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
      buffer.
 
    5.9  Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
    - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
    - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
      (matters only for rxvtd).
    - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
    - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
      bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
