/* GDCHART 0.10.0dev  2 Nov 2000 */
/* Copyright Bruce Verderaime 1998, 1999, 2000 */

This release no longer includes gd1.3.  It relies on the latest version
of libgd ( currently v1.8.3 available: www.boutell.com/gd/ ). 
gd-1.8.3 in turn relies on libpng and zlib (and optionally libjpeg).

There's no configure script.  gd-1.8.3 must be compiled and installed, before
gdchart0.10.0 can be built.
makefile will likely need to be edited to change paths to libgd.

The new option GDC_image_type has been added over v0.951dev.
Allowable types: GDC_GIF, GDC_PNG, GDC_JPEG, GDC_WBMP.

Though dev, it is a stable release.
