 Log Message:
 Update ald to 0.1.7. Close PR 26552.
 
 0.1.7        2004/10/10
 
   - added commands: display, ldisplay, undisplay to dump
     specified memory locations after each single step
     (thanks to ziberpunk <ziberpunk =at= ziberghetto dhis org>
      for the suggestion and code)
 
   - all Makefiles are now based on automake in the hopes
     that this will fix some of the problems integrating
     ald into the *BSD ports systems
 
   - bug fix where a pointer wasn't set to NULL after
     clearing program arguments with the "set args" command
 
   - this is related to the previous feature: if the effective
     address lies inside a symbol/function, the corresponding
     symbol is now displayed
 
   - for CALL and JMP instructions, exact target/effective
     addresses are now computed
     (code for this was contributed by Samuel Falvo II
      <kc5tja =at= arrl net>)
 
   - upgraded all configure scripts to autoconf v2.59
 
 0.1.6        2004/07/23
 
   - 2 bug fixes in "examine" command relating to dumping large
     numbers of bytes
     (found by mbe21 <mbe21 =at= o2 pl>)
 
   - bug fix where ~/.aldrc was not saved on ^D
 
   - minor memory leak fix which would occur in the loading
     of ~/.aldrc on startup
     (found by Alfredo Beaumont <ziberpunk =at= ziberghetto dhis org>)
 
   - more graceful handling of when the debugged program
     receives an unknown signal
 
   - "examine" command can now take section and symbol
     names in addition to numerical addresses
 
   - fix for libreadline detection in autoconf
 
   - ripped out all ncurses related code
 
   - minor memory leak fix: During print bursts, users may
     hit 'q' or ^C to stop the burst. This is implemented
     via a longjmp() call, but if memory was allocated
     beforehand, it would not have been freed since longjmp()
     alters the path of execution. A simple list structure
     was implemented to fix this.
 
   - fixed some issues related to upgrade to autoconf 2.58
 
   - bumped LICENSE up to GPL v2
 
   - "register" command now defaults to compact output format
 
   - fixed some minor disassembly bugs
 
   - got ald to compile on NetBSD 1.6.2
     (many thanks to Brad Spencer for providing me with
      a NetBSD shell account)
 
 0.1.5p1      2003/10/14
 
   - bandaid to top level Makefile.in to make ald compile
     in OpenBSD's ports system
 
 0.1.5        2003/10/11
 
   - "file secinfo" command can now output information on
     a.out sections
 
   - added TODO and BUGS files
 
   - fixed problems relating to changing values of fpu
     special purpose registers
 
   - added some missing SSE instructions to libDASM
 
   - OpenBSD support is back: fixed compile problems relating to
     fpu code, tested on 3.3 release
 
   - bug fixes in disassembling various MMX instructions
     (thanks to Peter Boettcher for patch)
 
   - changed library libDisasm to libDASM (Debugger's Assembler
     Library) in anticipation of its new capability to assemble
     instructions
 
   - added OSABI information to elf header parsing in libOFF
     (someone sent me a patch for this ages ago - sorry for
     taking so long!)
 
   - added -DNDEBUG to turn off assert() in out-of-the-box
     compiles
 
   - bug fix in a.out parser: now checks for QMAGIC binaries
 
   - "file symbols" command has changed to "file syminfo" and you
     can now use "file syminfo [symbol name]" to get information for
     a specific symbol
 
   - added libOFF to handle all the object file format stuff
 
 0.1.4        2003/07/09
 
   - libOp has been replaced with the rewritten library libDisasm
     which has a better overall design
 
   - incorporated hp's patch:
       . "disassemble" command now shows symbol information.
         Also added "set disasm-show-syms" to toggle this feature on/off.
 
       . added ascii output for all size memory dumps
 
       . bug fix in elf header parsing
 
   - added ~/.aldrc configuration file to save settings
 
   - fixed MSB problem when setting register values
 
 0.1.3        2002/06/29
 
   - added "set step-display-mmxregs" option to display mmx registers after single
     stepping
 
   - "lbreak" command now shows the name of the symbol containing each breakpoint, if
     any
 
 0.1.2        2002/06/14
 
   - added "set step-display-fpregs" option to display fpu registers after single
     stepping
 
   - added "-all" flag to "register" command to output fpu registers
 
   - fix for disassembling fld opcodes
 
   - fix in elf parser for executables with no section name string table present
 
 0.1.1        2002/04/24
 
   - bug fix in disassembling opcodes with /digit fields
 
   - bug fix in setting breakpoints which are close together
 
   - bug fix in handling of runtime arguments
 
   - new man page
 
 0.1.0        2002/04/13
