-0.9.0  200401??  New major library version number. You now need to call
-                   psiconv_config_read and give the result as first parameter
-                   to all parse and generate functions. All formerly global
-                   variables are now in this config structure. Also some minor
-                   psiconv_sketch_section changes. If you parse images,
-                   you will have to take a quick look there. Others should
-                   be safe (unless they use routines in parse_routines.h or
-                   gen_routines.h; there have been a few minor changes there
-                   too, besides the config stuff).

+                   - Call psiconv_config_default and psiconv_config_read at the
+                     start of your program
+                   - Almost all functions have a new psiconv_config parameter
+                   - All former global variables are now in this structure
+                 * Several minor changes in the functions defined in
+                   parse_routines.h and generate_routines.h
+                 * All generate_* routines have now a lev parameter except
+                   generate_file.
+                 * psiconv_sketch_section data representation changes
+                 * New verbosity level PSICONV_VERB_ERROR
                  Use config files /etc/psiconv.conf and ~/.psiconv.conf
                  Support automake 1.6 and 1.7
