+Changes since 2.16:    Added a -window-id argument to most hacks, so that they
+                       can draw on arbitrary externally-provided windows.
+                       Synched with xlockmore 4.11a01.
+                       Added `flow' hack.
+                       Added `atlantis' GL hack.
+                       Renamed `puzzle' hack to `jigsaw', since xlock already
+                       had a different mode called `puzzle'.
+                       Made it self-configure properly when Motif 2.1.0 is
+                       being used (requires -lXp now, sigh...)
+Changes since 2.15:    Made `flag' able to do XPM images.
+                       New look for the xscreensaver logo (`xroger').
+                       Fixed compilation error on Suns with adjunct passwords.
+                       Got multi-architecture builds working again.
+                       Some configure tweaks for building on HPUX and Solaris.
+                       Fixed bug in decayscreen.
+                       Fixed typo in passwd.c.
+                       Made `cynosure' not die when colormap is full.
+Changes since 2.14:    Added `cynosure' hack.
+                       Added `moire2' hack.
+                       Tweaked `erase.c' some more.
+                       Made unfading a bit smoother.
+                       Added `vidwhacker' hack (not installed by default.)
+                       Added `stairs' hack.
+                       Split `escher' into `cage' and `moebius', as per
+                       xlockmore.
+                       Changed subprocess handling to use sigaction() instead
+                       of signal() if it's available (this is necessary for
+                       SCO but should work fine on other systems too.)
+                       Various other tweaks.
 Changes since 2.13:    Better fix for the Motif drag-and-die lossage.
                        Put in some kludges to work around a LessTif bug.
                        XScreenSaver is known to work with LessTif 0.82 now.
