This version is primarily a bug-fix release.  The main new feature in
this release is a function (readascii) that may be used to read
(non-binary) data files, e.g., columns of numbers.

Enjoy.

Changes since 2.1.0
1. slsh/lib/print.sl: Only the first element of arrays such as
   Float_Type[1,1,1,10] were getting printed.
2. src/slscanf.c: strings containing only whitespace were not parsed
   properly by _pSLang_sscanf when %s was used in the format.
3. slsh/lib/readascii.sl: A flexible ascii data file reader.
4. src/slang.ver: Updated the linker version script
   (mlichvar at redhat, com).
5. src/slang.ver: The wildcard for the SLANG2 symbols was picking up
   the SLANG2.1.0 symbols.  (mlichvar at redhat, com).
6. slsh/lib/readascii.sl: Added type and cols qualifiers.  Updated docs.
7. src/slang.c: If auto_declare is non-zero, and a reference to an
   undefined variable is made, that variable will be automatically
   created and given static scope.
8. slsh/lib/autoload.sl: readascii added.
9. src/slrline.c: The redraw function was ignoring the application
   installed update hook, disrupting the display when a redraw was
   requested.
10. autoconf/configure.ac: -liconv was not getting added when creating
    the iconv module on systems with a standalone iconv library.
11. slsh/lib/readascii.sl: Added "as_list" qualifier to return values in
    lists rather than arrays.
12. src/slscanf.c: Added inf/nan support to sscanf.
13. src/slboseos.c: Before calling the hooks, push the error context
    so that they will work in the presence of errors.
14. lib/slsh/tm/profile.tm: Documented the profile_* functions.
15. doc/tm/slang.tm: Added documentation about qualifiers.
16. src/slarray.c,modules/*.c: Use SLindex_Type instead of int for
    indexing arrays.  Currently SLindex_Type is typedefd as an int.
17. src/slang.c: Added SLang_pop_array_index to the API.  Applications
    should use this function instead of SLang_pop_int for getting
    array indices.  This new symbol is versioned at 2.1.1.
18. src/slstruct.c: SLang_pop_cstruct will now force SLang_Array_Type
    objects to linear ones.
19. ./NEWS: Updated
20. slsh/lib/test_readascii.sl: Changed the "list" qualifier to
    "as_list".
