Changes in Anacron 2.0.1
------------------------
* Minor cosmetic changes to log messages.
* Jobs are now started with "/" as their working directory. This is
more compatible with older Anacron versions, avoids annoying errors on
some systems, and generally seems to make more sense.

---------------------------------------
* Complete rewrite in C. Should be backwards compatible with existing
Anacron installations.
* First release as a "generic" Linux package (was a Debian package).
* No longer needs special lock-files. Locking is done on the timestamp
files.

* Output of jobs, if any, is mailed to the user.
* Added command line options: -s -f -n -d -q -u -V -h. See the manpage.
* Specific jobs can now be selected on the command line.
* Added SIGUSR1 handling, to cleanly stop execution.
* Jobs will now be started with their current directory set to the home
of the user running Anacron (usually root).
