 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).
