httpd 2.13:
	* Server Script support (/htbin-URLs); compatible with
	  that of NCSA's (including redirection), but
	    - no need for scripts to translate escaped
	      special characters
	    - full AA support for scripts as any documents
	    - scripts can seem to have a "directory structure"
	* all known AA bugs fixed:
	    - broken fail rule
	    - setuid() looks up nobody correctly; and
	      doesn't refuse to run even if it fails
	* other additions:
	    - full filename suffix recognition (e.g. fixes
	      "cannot convert application/octet-stream to
	       www/present" with inlined .xbm images),
	      defaults are always used, and can be overridden
	      from the rule file
	    - understands Accept: */*
	    - more tolerant of bad requests
	    - checks that the third argument in HTTP1 request
	      is really "HTTP/1.0" and not just garbage (bad
	      HTTP0 request)

libwww 2.13:
	* single HTPromptUsernameAndPassword() to enable
	  a single authentication dialog box in GUIs
	* fix: connection not opened before authentication
	  information prompted
