+
+The config file syntax changed between versions 0.8 and 0.9. In order
+to implement all of the feature/enhancement requests in an elegant and
+self-consistent way, the configuration grammar had to be changed in a
+non-backward-compatible way. In particular, groups are now values, so
+the old syntax:
+
+group
+{
+  ...
+}
+
+must now be written as:
+
+group =
+{
+  ...
+};
+
+Note that the trailing semicolon, which was previously optional, is
+now required. Also note that a colon (':') can be used in place of the
+equals sign.

+Flex and Bison are not required in order to build this
+package. However, if you modify the .l or .y files, you must have Flex
+(2.5.31 or better) and Bison (2.1 or better), respectively.
