+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+This BETA release of Bacula 2.5.x development code uses libtool
+to generate the Bacula libraries as shared objects rather than
+being directly linked in as in prior versions. This means that
+the Bacula shared objects, must either be in a shared object
+directory known to the loader or they must be in the directory
+that may be specified on the ./configure line using the
+--libdir option as:
+
+ ./configure --libdir=/full-path/dir
+
+the default /usr/lib. If --libdir is specified, there should be
+no need to modify your loader configuration provided that
+the shared objects are installed in that directory (Bacula
+does this with the make install command). The shared objects
+that Bacula references are:
+
+libbaccfg.so
+libbacfind.so
+libbacpy.so
+libbac.so
+
+If you have problems with libtool or you wish to use the old
+way of building static libraries, you can do so by disabling
+libtool on the configure command line with:
+
+ ./configure --disable-libtool
+==============================================================
+
+
General:
+23Oct08
+kes Apply patch from Marco van Wieringen that implements the new
+ Solaris libsec interface for ACLs so that Bacula can save and
+ restore both the new ACLs and old ACLs.
+kes Marco's patch also corrects the file dependency generation code
+ so that it works properly both with shared libraries and static
+ libraries.
+kes Marco's patch also includes a small cleanup of the cats Makefile
+ to remove some references to non-existent files.
