------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patch #2 contains a new feature and various bug fixes:

+ (Master) pvmd now accepts environment variable PVM_DPATH to set
  default dx= path.  This is useful if you use sh or ksh.  Set both
  PVM_ROOT and PVM_DPATH in your .profile before you start PVM and
  you won't need to use a host file to change the default pvmd path
  from $PVM_ROOT/lib/pvmd.

  Example settings if you have PVM installed in $HOME/pvm3:

    PVM_ROOT = $HOME/pvm3
    PVM_DPATH = pvm3/lib/pvmd

+ New man page for libpvm.

. Hack pvmd to work on LINUX machines - fixed "bogus pkt" messages.

. Fixes to KSR1 port - use <stdlib.h>, fix libfpvm names, debugger script.

. Fix /0 bug in examples/timing.c.

. Fix typo in shared memory protocol src/lpvmshmem.c that caused segfault.

. Fix Makefiles in examples and gexamples.

. New man pages documenting "undocumented" functions.
