-# generate_history.pl -- flatten release notes for use as HISTORY file

-# Usage: generate_history.pl srcdir release.sgml >output.sgml
-#
-# The main point of this script is to strip out <link> references, which
-# generally point into the rest of the documentation and so can't be used
-# in a standalone build of the release notes.  To make sure this is done
-# everywhere, we have to fold in the sub-files of the release notes.
