  respectively, for Romanian s/t with cedilla in def7_uni.tbl (Ralph Babel)
* modify handling of "set" in -cmd_script option to try both cfg-file and
  rc-file settings (prompted by discussion with Andrew Watts) -TD
* update configure script to add --datarootdir option, which changes the

* modify configure check for sizeof(time_t), sizeof(off_t) to help recover if
  it is run in a deficient environment such as busybox -TD
* limit downloaded files by Content-Length if any, to match behavior of IE,
  Firefox and some other browsers; this is not addressed in RFC 2616 (Debian

* fix an unbounded loop in restrictions_fun() which could cause a core dump

  + omit -Wpointer-arith check for pre-3.0 gcc
  + add check for 'make' programs ${MAKEFLAGS} versus ${MFLAGS}, for recursive

  properly (patch by Diego Elio Petteno)
