+ there was some question about the requirement to show
+ that a program uses FLTK, which is required by section
+ 6 of the LGPL. The new exemption specifies that
+ inclusion of the FLTK license is not required, just a
+ statement that the program uses FLTK.

FL_PUSH and FL_DRAG.
- File and memory fixes for Fl_GIF_Image, Fl_PNG_Image,
