	In /Lite/Util/Util.xs v1.32,
	changed netswap() to postincrement 
	*a++ = to *a and added increment after save to mollify some
	picky compilers that return possible undefined behavior.
 
	changed type of _128x10 to 'void'
 
	Thanks to David Bolt <dbolt@davjam.org> for the above two patches
 
4.027  Tue Jun  9 10:31:11 PDT 2009

	documentation update
 
4.023  Fri Jan 16 14:30:40 PST 2009
	added the capability to set the CASE of ipV6 text return
	values to either upper or lower. Thanks to 
	Rob Riepel <riepel@networking.Stanford.EDU> for developing
	this improvement and providing a comprehensive patch
 
4.022  Sat Dec 20 13:05:01 PST 2008

	time to do the testing for me on his s390 system.
 
4.021  Wed Dec 10 11:09:36 PST 2008
	Removed test code that produces a warning about all perl versions, 
	OOPS!! instead of just the buggy 5.8.0 - 5.8.5 versions.
	Thanks to paul@city-fan.org for reporting this.
 
4.020  Tue Dec  9 16:25:46 PST 2008
	cleaned up various typo's with good patch from
	Rob Riepel <riepel@networking.Stanford.EDU>
	thanks Rob.
 
	revised UtilPP v1.7 to work around perl 5.8.4
	failures with certain @_ operations of goto &sub...
	see perl bug [ 23429]. Unfortunately, perl-5.8.4 is
	the distribution of choice for many solaris boxes  
 
4.019  Sat Nov 29 15:15:30 PST 2008
	in Lite/Util, add pure perl testing to XS build
 
4.018  Fri Nov 28 23:19:01 PST 2008

	removed function 'threads' here an in UtilPP v1.6
 
4.017  Sun Nov 23 19:32:59 PST 2008
	Extended the capability of 'splitref' to allow splitting of
	objects into multiple pieces with differing CIDR masks.
	Returned object list can be split from bottom to top
	or from top to bottom depending on which method is called
 
		split, rsplit, splitref, rsplitref
 
	Thanks to kashmish <kashmish@gmail.com> for the idea on
	improving functionality of 'split'.
 
	Thanks to Rob Riepel <riepel@networking.Stanford.EDU>
	for a faster and more accurate _compV6 function.
 
  in UtitPP v1.5
	correct documentation error
	add threads reporting (empty string)
 
  in Util v1.25
	add threads reporting that returns a comma separated
	string of build headers.
 
	added what is hopefully thread safe operation via
	serialization. Must be invoked by "--with-threads"
 
  in Lite v1.12
	corrected missing Zeros subroutine
	Zeros and Zero both will work
 
  in Lite v1.12
	added minus (-) overloading to allow the subtraction
	of two NetAddr::IP objects to get the difference between
	the object->{addr}'s as a numeric value
	Thanks to Rob Riepel <riepel@networking.Stanford.EDU>
	for the initial code and inspiration for this enhancement
 
4.016  Wed Nov  5 18:13:20 PST 2008
	in Util/ version 1.24

4.015  Sun Nov  2 10:10:38 PST 2008

4.014  Sat Nov  1 15:13:48 PST 2008
	in Lite.pm v1.11, add test for characters not allowed by
	rfc952 before the call to gethostbyname in sub new() for those
	people that insist on using deprecated functionality :aton
	and OS's that fail to notice calls to gethostbyname with
	binary arguments.
 
4.013  Wed Oct 22 15:04:49 PDT 2008
	In Lite.pm v1.10, add new no octal method for
	improperly formatted ipV4 addresses
 
	In Util.pm v1.22, eliminated dependence on PL_sawampersand
	thanks to Mark Martinec <Mark.Martinec@ijs.si>
	for spotting this and submitting a patch.
 
	In Util.pm v1.22, force -noxs mode for Win32
 
	In Util.pm v1.22, use autoconf to configure 'C' build
 
4.012  Thu Oct 16 19:35:33 PDT 2008
	clear build bug for Win32 in Util.pm v 1.21
 
4.011  released Oct 6 13:10
 
4.010  Sat Sep 27 17:00:28 PDT 2008
    in NetAddr::IP::Util v0.19
	updated test for ENDIANess in siteconf
 
	add test in inet_aton to detect overange IP dot quad values
	missed by some broken Socket implementations
	i.e. 256.1.1.1 would fail to return undef
 
NOTE: 	Versions 4.008 and 4.009 had limited release to tester only
	and were not uploaded to CPAN. All of the v4.008, 4.009
	changes are incorporated in v4.010
 
4.009  Tue Sep  2 19:09:57 PDT 2008
	In NetAddr::IP::Lite v1.07,
	in the off chance that NetAddr::IP::Lite objects are created
	and the caller later loads NetAddr::IP and expects to use
	those objects, let the AUTOLOAD routine find and redirect
	NetAddr::IP::Lite method and subroutine calls to NetAddr::IP.
 
	updated Lite/t/v4-wnew.t so that non-existent
	domains are "really" not there
 
4.008  Sat Jun  7 14:01:55 PDT 2008
	inherit method "new_from_aton" from NetAddr::IP::Lite
	add related documentation
 
      Inherited methods from Lite.pm updated as follows:
 
	comparisons of the form <, >, <=, >=
		10.0.0.0/24 {operator} 10.0.0.0/16
	return now return the comparison of the cidr value
	when the address portion is equal.
NOTE:	this comparison returns the comparison of the NUMERIC
	value of the CIDR. This produces the counter intuitive result
	that /24 > /16. There is logic to this, really! For proper
	operation of commands like "Compact" and "Coalesce", lists of
	netaddr objects must sort in ascending order. However, this
	conflicts with the requirement for larger netblocks to sort
	FIRST so as to include smaller ones. This logic extends to
	any requirement for a sort of netaddr objects. It should be
	further noted that the mixing of netaddr objects with varying
	IP addresses and CIDR allocations can lead to unexpected
	results since the comparisons done first on the IP portion
	and then on the CIDR portion. The documentation has been
	updated appropriately.
	Thanks to Peter DeVries for spotting this discrepancy
