** This is the fastcap-2.0-18Sept92 distribution with the following
   changes:

  1) A new list file format option allows some or all input files to
     be included in that one file.  This avoids the former need for
     sometimes large numbers of separate input files.  The format is
     as follows:

       (regular list file)
       End
       File <the_first_file>
       (contents of <the_first_file>)
       End
       File <the_second_file>
       (contents of <the_second_file>)
       End
       ...
  
     The characters following 'E' in "End" and following 'F' in "File"
     are optional.  Like the other keys, 'E' and 'F' are
     case-insensitive, and must be in the first text column.  The
     files are those referenced in the list file, and can be appended
     in any order.  Referenced files that are not appended are
     expected to be disk files.  The "End" after a neutral file is
     optional, as is the "End" after the final appended file.

     The modified list file is input in the regular way, i.e., with
     "-lfilename".

  2) Blank lines are now allowed in list files (though maybe not in
     appended files, I haven't checked).

  3) All references to "malloc.h" in the source code have been changed
     to "stdlib.h" to avoid a cascade of warnings during compilation.

  4) Added static declarations to mulSetup.c to avoid annoying
     compiler warnings.

  5) The latex files for the manual have been eliminated, and the
     postscript documents provided instead.

  6) Changed name "stime" in resusage.h to "s__time" to avoid name
     clash from library include files in Red Hat Linux 6.0.

  7) Ported to Microsoft Windows using the mingw (www.mingw.org)
     version of gcc.  To build under mingw, use "config mingw".  The
     source code was made sensitive to the following defines, which
     are all necessary for mingw.

     a) NO_SBRK            The library lacks the sbrk() function.
     b) NO_GETHOSTNAME     Skip the call to gethostname().  Actually,
                           mingw has this, but it requires loading
                           winsock2.
