For those who don't read /. Beta 2.1

Hi folks !

Just in case some people here haven't noticed. We brought out a Bugfix
Release for the Beta2 called Beta2.1

Changelogs:

LibGII:

* Portability fixes for non-Linux platforms.
* Misc bugfixes (see ChangeLog).
* Minor documentation updates.
* New API function giiQueryDeviceInfoByNumber().
* New GII_EV_TARGET_QUEUE value for "target" in giiSendEvent().
* Thread fixes for event queues - now it's possible to have one thread
  block with giiEventPoll/Read, feed events with giiSendEvent() from another
  thread, and have the first thread unblock.
* Fixes and improvements for the cleanup stuff in LibGG.

* input-linux-kbd
  - Fixed to compile on pre 2.2 kernels.
  - Pressing dead key+space now works properly.
  - Better handling of Backspace/Delete.
  - PrintScreen now works.
  - If Win* keys are not mapped to anything by the kernel we map them to
    Left/Right Meta and GIIK_Menu respectively.

LibGGI:

* Misc bugfixes (see ChangeLog).
* Minor documentation updates.
* Autoconf now checks for headers as well as libraries for Glide, AAlib and
  SVGAlib.
* Should now compile on Linux libc5 and other systems which doesn't define
  MAP_FAILED.

* cube3d-demo
  - Fixed to work on GT_32BIT visuals.
* demo-demo
  - Better teach how to properly use ASYNC/SYNC mode.

* fbdev-target
  - Now supports acceleration on matroxfb. Should work on all supported cards.
  - Read /etc/fb.modes to get timing information - mode switching now
    works for non-KGIcon drivers too.
  - Fixed bug when running on a new VT (like XGGI does by default).
  - Don't try to change the palette when the application is switched away.
  - Now compiles on 2.0 kernels - someone with the proper hardware please
    test whether it actually works.
* svgalib-target
  - Major updates and bugfixes.
  - Now supports running in the background using the GGICMD_NOHALT_ON_UNMPAP
    standard API.
  - Console switching now works, but does _not_ use SIGUSR* - you can now use
    the SVGAlib target with pthreads!

XGGI:

	- Updated German keymap from Andreas Beck.
	- Added GIIUC_Bar and GIIUC_Circumflex to recognized keys.
	- Made Right Control usable for server kill too.
	- Support command line option '-bpp' for XFree compability.
	- Re-implemented reset_xggiscreen() in a portable way.
	- Experimental support for 1bpp modes.

CU, ANdy
