Libidn 1.17 is an alpha release (available only from alpha.gnu.org), see
the recent discussion on this list about shared library version problem
discovered in earlier releases.  During alpha testing, Marco noticed a
problem the libidn.map file, and I agree, so I'll need to fix that, and
then release 1.18 as a stable release.  Hopefully this will happen this
week.
