* The new official homepage is https://sciteco.fmsbw.de/
* My new contact address is rhaberkorn AT fmsbw.de.
* The scintilla-mirror is now also on https://git.fmsbw.de/scintilla-mirror/
* Added CI script for my server on fmsbw.de that builds
the website.
It's run in a FreeBSD container, but does not currently
distribute FreeBSD binaries.

special Q-registers ^Ax
* The unnamed buffer is also used for reading from --stdin, so you couldn't practically combine
--stdin with passing command-line arguments to macros.
* The old approach of passing command-line arguments via lines in the
unnamed buffer was flawed anyway as it wouldn't work with filenames containing LF.
This is just a very ancient feature, written when there weren't even long Q-reg names in SciTECO.
* You can now e.g. pipe into SciTECO and edit what was read interactively, e.g. `dmesg | sciteco -i`.
You can practically use SciTECO as a pager.
* htbl.tes is now a command-line filter (uses -qio).
* grosciteco.tes reads Troff intermediate code from stdin, so we no longer need
"*.intermediate" temporary files.
* added a getopt.tes test case to the testsuite.
* This change unfortunately breaks most macros accepting command-line arguments,
even if they used getopt.tes.
It also requires updating ~/.teco_ini - see fallback.teco_ini.

We don't need to specify the "woman.tec" output file as the default is sufficient.
If it has to be specified, it's now done with `-t`.

* This is also the base of $SCITECOPATH.
* Changing it is useful for packaging where it is not possible to factor out the common
files between Curses and Gtk builds into a "sciteco-common" package.
As an alternative, you can now create disjunct sciteco-curses and sciteco-gtk packages.
* You will most likely want to use this for Gtk builds as in:
--with-interface=gtk --program-prefix=g --with-scitecodatadir=/usr/local/share/gsciteco.

* .SCITECO_TT should be before .EX, so that the indent is already monospaced.
.SCITECO_TT_END still needs to be before .EE however, so that the next
non-monospaced line is not "typeset" with a monospaced indent.
* naturally only affects the Gtk UI

called tedoc.tes
* some code simplifications
* it now supports command line arguments via getopt.tes.
* the -C flag enabled C/C++ mode.
By default tedoc parses SciTECO code which means it can be used
to document macro packages as well.
* Therefore it is installed as a separate tool now.
It may be used as a Groff preprocessor for third-party macro
authors to generate (wo)man pages.
* there's a man page tedoc.tes(1)
* The troff placeholder macro is now called ".TEDOC".
* Help topics can now be specified after the starting comment /*$ or !*$.
Topics have been defined for all built-in commands.

* this uses an optstring compatible with getopt(3).
* It does not use repeated getopt calls to iterate options, though
but places the results in registers beginning with "getopt.".
E.g. option "C" will result in "getopt.C" being set after the
call to setopt.
String arguments are supported and are placed in the string part
of the getopt registers.
* The grosciteco.tes and symbols-extract.tes scripts make use of
getopt now, to simplify and clean up their command line handling.

* the new "?" (help) command can be used to look up
help topics.
* help topics are index from $SCITECOPATH/women/*.woman.tec
files.
* looking up a help topic opens the corresponding "womanpage"
and jumps to the position of the topic (it acts like an anchor
into the document).
* styling is performed by *.woman.tec files.
* Setting up the Scintilla view and munging the *.tec file
is performed by the new "woman.tes" lexer.
On supporting UIs (Gtk), womanpages are shown in a variable-width
font.
* Woman pages are usually not hand-written, but generated from manpages.
A special Groff post-processor grosciteco has been introduced for this
purpose. It is much like grotty, but can output SciTECO macros for styling
the document (ie. the *.woman.tec files).
It is documented in its own man-page.
* grosciteco also introduces sciteco.tmac - special Troff macros
for controlling the formatting of the document in SciTECO.
It also defines .SCITECO_TOPIC which can be used to mark up
help topics/terms in Troff markup.
* Woman pages are generated/formatted by grosciteco at compile-time, so
they will work on platforms without Groff (ie. as on windows).
* Groff has been added as a hard compile-time requirement.
* The sciteco(1) and sciteco(7) man pages have been augmented with
help topic anchors.
