/* Revision 1.1  1998/04/08 23:22:17  curt
/* Adopted Gnu automake/autoconf system.
/*
 * Revision 1.7  1998/01/27 00:48:00  curt
 * Incorporated Paul Bleisch's <bleisch@chromatic.com> new debug message
 * system and commandline/config file processing code.
 *
 * Revision 1.6  1998/01/22 02:59:39  curt
 * Changed #ifdef FILE_H to #ifdef _FILE_H
 *
 * Revision 1.5  1998/01/19 19:27:13  curt
 * Merged in make system changes from Bob Kuehne <rpk@sgi.com>
 * This should simplify things tremendously.

 * Revision 1.3  1997/07/31 22:52:28  curt
 * Working on redoing internal coordinate systems & scenery transformations.
 *
 * Revision 1.2  1997/07/23 21:52:21  curt
