The changes are mostly bug fixes and additional functionality.
A number of macros have been marked obsolete, but not
removed. I have attached the section of the NEWS file
covering the period since the previous version (2.59).

Yes - /usr/sfw symlinks will be included and should have been listed.
I propose only included compatibility links for the executables
and not for the manpages and infofiles. This is consistent with other
packages which have links from /usr/sfw to /usr, such as flex,
ImageMagick and psutils. The additional interfaces are:
/usr/sfw/bin/ifnames Uncommitted Sym link
/usr/sfw/bin/autoconf Uncommitted Sym link
/usr/sfw/bin/autoheader Uncommitted Sym link
/usr/sfw/bin/autom4te Uncommitted Sym link
/usr/sfw/bin/autoreconf Uncommitted Sym link
/usr/sfw/bin/autoscan Uncommitted Sym link
/usr/sfw/bin/autoupdate Uncommitted Sym link
